Hotels that are easy to find
► Click any red marker on the map and a bubble will show up with details of the hotel in that location.
There are plenty of motorway exits that lead to hotels: but it is not always easy to find them. The hotels listed on this map have been specifically chosen because they really are close to the exit, and easy to access. Clicking on a red bubble will open up a brief information window, with essential information for the hotel, and a link to the hotels' own websites or other booking sites, with online booking and often the best offers available.
   The hotels listed include low-cost Formule 1 hotels, budget Ibis, Campanile and Etap hotels, midscale Novotel and Mercure hotels, as well as some independent establishments.
   NB: "Close to the exit" does not have to mean noisy. All these modern hotels are well insulated and soundproofed.

Recommended alternative route to avoid Paris: Use the route from Calais or Boulogne or Le Havre, via Rouen and Chartres; join the A 10 just north of Orleans. Click here for hotels on this route.

The   A10  autoroute can be reached either from Pairs, or via Rouen and Chartres, or via (Rouen) Alençon and the  A28 /  E402 .

The   A10  is the main French motorway to the southwest. It is a busy motorway, particularly during summer holiday weekends, as it carries most of the holiday traffic bound for the west coast of France.
There are two notable black spots on this autoroute, which often cause serious delays at peak periods; a) the toll station at Saint Arnoult (the biggest motorway toll station in Europe), which causes long tailbacks in the north-east bound direction when there is a lot of traffic returning towards Paris.  b) the ring road round Bordeaux, which can get snarled up either side of the Pont d'Aquitaine, over the Gironde.

Otherwise this route is plain driving.

South of Bordeaux, the motorway is replaced by dual carriageway (divided highway) route nationale, the N10, for most of the way to Bayonne. For the last few kilometres to Bayonne, Irun and the Spanish border, the N10 becomes the A63 autoroute - which links directly at the border to Spain's Autopista A-8, and thereafter to the Spanish motorway network.
