Thankfully trailers & caravans under 2m height, go free on the French toll roads.
Still good value imho, but for MH & regular Caravan travellers, maybe not so much.
We last went on the French Toll autoroutes back in 2019, Dunkerque down to Frejus & back, compared to UK motorways the travelling was a dream, some stretches along the Eastern route we hardly got to see any other vehicles, travelling mid day, mid week in June, and of course using a Telepeage Tag, heaven !

Oh the smugness of travelling on the autoroute pulling a Trigano Silver,which was specifically designed to be 1.98metres when the roof was down.
This is probably what I miss the most

A good many years since we paid tolls in France, as we've been in a LWB Landrover in more recent years, with best will in the world we weren't going anywhere in a hurry so couldn't take advantage of the higher speed limits, so really not with any reluctance we just leisurely ambled our way along the toll free routes. We always plan the journey time into our schedule, so the whole journey is very relaxed through the often lovely French countryside. Last trip, couple of years back, was in my car, but we still took the free 'scenic' route, we've just got into the mindset of enjoy the ride and relax, more to life than being a bat out hell trying to race everywhere at fastest speed possible, especially in France where life seems more chilled than in UK.
Fair do's, our journeys were only 120 miles, couple of hours or so, so largely plenty of time to play with. Maybe if a much longer journey, may have to take account of distance/time achievable in a driving day, but kind of got used to enjoying the non-motorway routes over the years and think I'd still try and take advantage of the 'free' routes and enjoy the journey and scenery as much as possible. The toll fees now are even more of an incentive to 'go scenic'!
This year's trip to France got delayed, then cancelled outright, had a few variations on our normal routine trip, and we may have considered toll roads had we got to route planning stage, but will certainly take a close look at toll fees for future trips, just in case we're tempted!
