The motorway of tomorrow
is in our hands
The history of Paris-Rhin-Rhône
The history of the APRR network intersects with that of the construction of the French motorway network in the 60s. The legendary A6 motorway was opened in 1961 and paved the way for the creation of a network that, beginning in the south-east of the Ile-de-France region, fed into the Grand Est and Bourgogne-Franche Comté regions and then ran alongside the Val de Saône as far as Rhône-Alpes.
Since 2006, APRR has operated and maintained 1,890 kilometres of motorways: A5 and A6 serving Langres and Lyon from Paris; A31 and A36 serving Toul and Mulhouse from Beaune; A39 between Dijon and Bourg-en-Bresse; A40 between Mâcon and Bellegarde; A71 and A79 between Clermont-Ferrand and Crest. Its subsidiary AREA operates 409 kilometres of motorways in the Alps.
Our commitment? To offer you a safe motorway network, integrated into its urban and rural surroundings, which supports local economies and the green transition. How? For example, by equipping 100% of the network’s service areas with electric charging stations in order to promote low-carbon travel. This is the motorway of today. That is what it means to design the travel of tomorrow.
All year round, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day, the teams at APRR and Eiffage’s various motorway concession contractors in France are on hand to make your journeys a success and an opportunity to enjoy a unique experience.

Taking action for the green transition and everyday travel
More than ever, the motorway stands at the crossroads of the challenges of transport, the attractiveness of the French regions and the green transition. The 3,300 employees at Eiffage motorway concession contractors in France are fully committed to offering motorists, our regular customers and hauliers an ever safer, smoother and more responsible motorway.
Every day, we are guided by four missions: maintaining the assets entrusted to us under our concession contracts, ensuring the safety of motorists, encouraging the emergence of new forms of transport and reducing the motorway's carbon footprint. Four missions that we carry out to serve the common good and within the framework of the concession contract entrusted to us in 2006.
We are convinced that motorways are a major asset for France and the territories they serve. But it is no longer a question of thinking of motorways through the prism of the past, quite the contrary. The motorway of tomorrow is being built in light of today’s challenges. As such, we want to make the motorway a pillar of reinvented transport: a motorway fully integrated into the landscapes and its environment; a motorway that facilitates commuting while promoting new modes of travel to combat self-isolation; a motorway that preserves resources and protects life; a motorway that is ultimately more virtuous, more economical and more desirable.
