Vignettes from Rotterdam to Bordeaux

Via Antwerp, Lille, Rouen and Tours.

You need no vignette on this drive.

None of the countries on this route sells a vignette we would need to buy for you. What each one charges instead is below.

Costed for a return trip that leaves one day and comes back 7 days later, so the destination is covered for all 8 calendar days and every country on the way is crossed twice. A longer stay moves a country to a longer vignette and changes the total: the planner works out your own dates.

The countries you cross, in order

  • the Netherlands

    No vignette and no motorway tolls for cars. The Westerschelde tunnel charges separately.

  • Belgium

    No vignette and no motorway tolls for cars. The Liefkenshoek tunnel near Antwerp charges separately.

  • France

    Motorway tolls are charged per section and paid at toll stations or by transponder.

No vignette is needed in the Netherlands and Belgium. France charges tolls on the road instead of a vignette.

The drive

The quickest way to avoid the Paris ring on this drive is to swing west through Lille and Rouen before joining the A28 south to Tours, the same route most Dutch caravans already take toward the Vendée and the Atlantic coast. Every kilometre through Belgium costs nothing today, though that changes once its new vignette, linked to the plate rather than a sticker, starts in 2027. France then charges within the first hour past the border, a ticket paid by section all the way down to Bordeaux.
