French law is that you use the emergency phone which connects to the police.They arrange a tow off the autoroute to a place of safety (local garage!)You then phone Red Pennant and they will sort everything in the local language.When my son in law broke down on the autoroute a few years ago I was very impressed with the service from all parties.Hopefully you will not be in a position to have to experience it!!!

We have just used this service; 48 hrs before we had to catch the Eurotunnel home. We used the SOS box, were towed off (etc). Were provided with a replacement tow car because ours could not be fixed within time scales. I WAS going to start another discussion entitled, 'Credit Where it is due'. We are really very impressed with the service we got and this time it was worth its weight in gold. Reading this, I am happy that there is a chance of claiming back the two fee [€350].
