Main roads in France, designated Route Nationale or “N” roads, can be acceptable for long journeys as an alternative to toll roads. Of course you can't travel as fast, but they are often straight and un-crowded and are a nice alternative to monotonous toll roads. Minor roads are classed as 'D' roads.
