For those who have the Télépéage transponders - important

[lowdrag]

The battery life in these is about three years and some of you won't possibly have used them since the last Le Mans. When you arrive at the toll booth it should give off a beep to tell you that your transponder is working correctly. If it doesn't but the barrier still opens it means that your battery is getting low and that you should look out at one of the toll booths for one of the operator's offices and they will give you a new one. If the barrier doesn't open (and it happened to me at midnight in pouring rain) then you can find yourself in a bit of a bind, especially if it is an unmanned toll booth. You have been warned!

Good advice!

I didn't bother with one for last year, but think I should this year as my passenger tends to suffer narcilepsy (luckily for me)!

Can you point me in the right direction for an application form?

Sorry, but strangely it is in french.

Thanks - a cheeky cotes du rhone should help me translate that!
