We are driving down to Spain, through France at the beginning of June. First time without the caravan for many years. Does anyone know of any hotels on motorways in France and Spain for a night stopovers? Marilou
I think they would want to travel to Spain and auto routes are the quickest and best?Why go autoroutes? There are main equally good main roads - many formerly RN but now D numbers - that allow you to see more of France.
Best option IME is Ibis which are everywhere.

We took your advice and bought two Tags, one for France and one for Spain. The best thing we have done. It was great not having to worry about having enough change or risking my life hanging out the window to get a ticket. Would recommend it to anyone doing that journey.Done it loads of times.
F1 are cheap, Campanile are good (and our kids always liked the desert selection in the restaurant).
In Dunkirk - Dune hotel is good value and close to the ferry terminal
If you stop at Clermont-Ferrand, there is a selection just of the exit of the A71.
Hotels.com give free nights if you book through them (1 free for every 10 nights).
And if you don't have one get a Tag. Reduced waiting at toll booths, No fighting with change or debit card on the wrong side of the car and if you feel brave drive through the fast line at 30 kmh.... Best thing I've ever subscribed for, only pay when you use it apart from a yearly subscription (think it's €8 a year).
When did they remove the tolls from their motorways?Just returning from France today after getting go ahead from doctor 2 weeks ago. Went without the caravan and was surprised to find that our Atmb Tag still works despite being over seven years old and not being used since 2018.
Used Campaniles on way down and back and have been very satisfied.
Not sure that you need a tag for Spain now as their motorways are free.

We drove the length of Spain and the only tolls were on the Costa del Sol where we were staying. It was still handy to have the Tag for when we were out and about.Just returning from France today after getting go ahead from doctor 2 weeks ago.
