All you need to know about the A13 motorway

How much are the tolls on the A13 motorway?
To plan your journey properly, it is best to have an idea of costs. The A13 motorway is split into five tolls: Buchelay, Heudebouville, Bourneville, Beuzeville and Dozulé. The A13 is subject to tolls along certain stretches.
The prices depend on the time of year, time of day and type of vehicle you are using. For a good estimate of how much your journey will cost, sapn has developed a
cost calculator.
Where does the A13 lead?
You can head off for a weekend in Normandy by following the A13. The motorway serves the west of Paris, skirting the Vexin Français Regional Natural Park, before turning off towards Normandy until Rouen. From there, you can turn off to the Normandy coast, towards Dieppe or Le Havre, for example, or continue on the A13 motorway, which skirts the Boucles de la Seine Natural Park before arriving in Caen.
