France - Expensive to drive on the roads and fill up

Unless you are on a tight time scale there is absolutely no need to use the Autoroutes in France as the National roads are very good  :happy2:

Where there is no National alternative route, the Autoroute is free, you only pay when there is the choice to use the Nationals.

I think it's Berlin that have a congestion charge type system going aswell that you need to be aware of
To my knowledge you need an environmental disc to enter most if not all city centres.

Why would you want to remove it? it lasts the lifetime of the car (well numberplate to be specific) so if you ever want to go back again  :happy2:
