Disabled drivers toll concessions

[malaleyhansen]

Hi, Im shortly going on a driving holiday in France. Does anyone know if there is any exemptions for diabled blue badge holders on the tolls in France? And if so where do I apply?

None that I know of, but I'll look it up.

Parking isn't free either, btw, you pay if it's a paying space so beware.

EDIT : I have found some reference to reimbursement for badge costs (but not the fees themselves):

But you can get free "doofers" (as they are known on this forum for for some reason) from ALIS and a few other autoroute operators anyway so that's not of much help.  Also this isn't easy if you don't have a French bank account.

EDIT No 2: If you have a class 2 modified vehicle (modified for a disability) then you only pay the class one toll:
