Orly, Rungis and goods traffic
Orly airport and the Rungis international market next door generate dense, distinctive traffic: shuttles, lorries, drop-offs, hire cars. A breakdown near the airport or on the roads serving it often means dealing with regulated traffic zones or queuing lanes. Tell us if you're on an airport access road, in a car park, or on a lorry route.
The Marne loop at Saint-Maur
Saint-Maur-des-Fossés sits inside a wide loop of the Marne, which gives it a street layout that follows the river rather than a grid. The same kind of meander shows up at Nogent-sur-Marne, Charenton-le-Pont and Saint-Maurice, where the river borders or cuts through the town. If you break down near a bridge or a quay, a precise landmark (bridge name, quay number) saves us time.
The A4, A86 and A6: three motorways through the department
The A4 links Paris to eastern France via Saint-Maurice and Joinville-le-Pont, the A86 loops the conurbation through Créteil and Vitry-sur-Seine, and the A6 heads south past Rungis and Orly. All three generally have a hard shoulder along most of their length: if you break down, head for it, hazard lights and hi-vis vest, before calling.
