No idea on highway tolls in France but you better check. According to the website http://www.autoroutes.fr/en/vehicle-classification.htm as a trike it should be the same group as a motorbike. However all but 1 of the toll booths I encountered last year were unmanned and I couldn't see haw to pay a reduced toll. At the one manned toll booth after a long argument about whether it was a car or not I ended up paying the car toll:(

From my trip last year: A. wearing helmets with reflective stickers fitted. I wore a helmet but no stickers B. Carrying breathalysers Didn't bother as there's no penalty for not having them C. Reflective triangle to be carried within the group Each vehicle needs to carry one. D. Reflective Tabbard to be carried One per seat and accessible from within the vehicle. E. Carrying your licence, insurance and MOT Yes, licence, original reg document and original insurance document. I'm not sure you need your MOT but it can't hurt to bring it along

D. Reflective Tabbard to be carried
One per seat and accessible from within the vehicle. From the point of view of a vintage owner, absolutely no-where to stash a reflective tabard if there are two of you in it. One solution that occurs to me is to wear this: Dickies Hi Vis Jacket The one I have does have the relevant approval that a tabard bought in the UK would have and is surprisingly warm for a fairly cheap jacket (I've worn mine for scout activities when I want to be seen). No idea if the French would find some minute objection. It obviously is not as good at being a protective outer layer than a leather jacket is.

...so, be verrrrrrrryyyy careful speeding in switzerland!!! I am sorry to say that the risk for exorbitant speeding tickets together with the general high price level has eliminated Switzerland from my holiday list. The CHF exchange rate does not support my touristic interest while my small watch collection adds value.
