Does anyone know how tolls work on the highway? Years ago, you could pay with cash. Are you ok with a chip & signature credit card? That's my real question. I've heard stories about unmanned toll kiosks that are chip-and-PIN only.
This old thread, by the way, brings back happy memories of the time we did the standard Normandy drive trip over Thanksgiving weekend many years ago -- from Orly. At the end of our last day, we used the Chartres Novotel as our "airport hotel" and got to see the cathedral as a bonus sight. The late afternoon sun streaming through those windows was jaw-dropping.
