Paris–Mulhouse toll: pay €6.00 less
Between Paris and Mulhouse (540 km), the motorway toll comes to €44.90 for a car paid in one go. By legally splitting your trip on the A6 then the A36 — with short exits, along the same route — you pay only €38.90. Here is exactly where to leave the motorway and rejoin it.
How to pay €38.90 instead of €44.90
On this route, all it takes is to exit and immediately rejoin the motorway at 3 toll gates. You drive the same itinerary; you simply pay your toll in several legs, which added up cost less than a single Paris → Mulhouse payment.
| Leg (exit, then rejoin) | You pay |
|---|---|
| Fleury-en-Bière → Ury | €2.00 |
| Ury → Bierre-lès-Semur | €14.40 |
| Bierre-lès-Semur → Besançon-Est | €15.00 |
| Besançon-Est → Saint-Maurice | €7.50 |
| Total when split | €38.90 |
The 3 gates in green (Ury, Bierre-lès-Semur, Besançon-Est) are your exit points: you leave the motorway and rejoin it straight away. APRR official fares, in force on 1 June 2026.
In a hurry? One exit is already enough. If you only want to stop once, leave the motorway and rejoin it at Joigny: you pay €41.80 instead of €44.90, a saving of €3.10 for a single stop. Every extra exit widens the gap, up to the €6.00 of the full plan.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to split the Paris–Mulhouse toll?
Yes. You drive the same route; you simply pay in several instalments, at intermediate toll gates. No rule requires a motorway journey to be settled in a single transaction.
Does it make the trip longer?
Barely. The 3 gates suggested sit directly on your route (the A6 then the A36): you exit, pass the toll and rejoin the motorway straight away, in the same direction. Tollcut rules out gates whose exit would mean a real detour.
Does it work with an electronic toll badge?
Yes, and it is even simpler: with a badge, exits and re-entries need no stop and no ticket, and each leg is charged automatically. The saving is identical.
Where do these prices come from?
From the official fare grids of the operator APRR, versioned and updated at each annual revision (fares in force on 1 June 2026). Tollcut depends on no real-time pricing API.
