Motorways[edit]
Ring roads of Paris
The city is also the most important hub of France's motorway network, and is surrounded by three orbital freeways: the Périphérique,[80] which follows the approximate path of 19th-century fortifications around Paris, the A86 motorway in the inner suburbs, and finally the Francilienne motorway in the outer suburbs. Paris has an extensive road network with over 2,000 km (1,243 mi) of highways and motorways.
