Motorways and main roads
Main European and French traffic has to pass through Burgundy. The region has an excellent motorway network with connecting roads to northern and north-eastern France by way of the A31, A38, A77 and A5 motorways and to southern, south-eastern and eastern France by way of the A6, A36, A39, A40 and A75 motorways.
The eastern motorway network passing through Burgundy is linked to the western motorway network by means of the Route Centre Europe Atlantique, which is one of the main French cross-country motorways linking Chalon-sur-Saône and Mâcon (A6) and La Rochelle (A10).
