France has one of Europe's densest motorway networks. Rates are set by concession operators (Sanef, Vinci, APRR…) and reviewed every 1 February — in 2026 the increase was a modest +0.86%. The price depends on your entry and exit point, the distance and your vehicle class.
From Calais, most routes use the A26 ("the motorway of the English") and the A1 towards Paris, or the A16 along the coast. The average per-km rate for a car is €0.095–0.115.
