 Poster: A snowHead

Driving to Tignes tomorrow for the first time. Going down to Dijon, Moutiers, BSM etc. Any ideas on how much the toll charges are likely to be or if it takes much longer if we don't use those roads?

I can't remember what the cost is, not a ridiculous amount, but that's not much help. Someone will be along soon who knows it to the last Euro.
It will take a lot longer if you avoid toll roads. There is little of the m'way between Calais and Tignes which is toll free, and although there may be the odd stretch of free m'way standard N road, most of it will be much slower than the m'way (depending on how fast you drive on the m'way, of course).
I'm surprised that the quickest route from Kazakhstan to Tignes is via Calais, but you know best.

If you use the viamichelin.com site their directions are usually very good and show all the cameras as well as telling you how much your toll charges will be.

kojak, go to www.autoroutes.fr enter destination and departures, it'll give you an exact figure €72.60.

Via Annecy will save you some money and it's a good drive in the daytime.

That's a fine pair of legs you've got there 'cos you must've cycled there and back for that money.
2,000 Km, give a gnat's bolluck Calais-Tignes-Calais for £110 = 81mpg
Summat a bit queer with your munbers
