Brenner Autobahn

The A13 motorway extends for 225 kilometers from Paris to Caen, following the Seine River through western France and connecting major urban centers.

Construction of the A13 began in the late 1920s, making it France's first motorway when it opened in 1946 after delays caused by World War II.

The route passes near Giverny, where Claude Monet's house and gardens inspired many of his paintings, and leads to numerous Norman heritage sites.

The highway handles 120,000 vehicles daily, with increased traffic during peak hours near Paris and the Forest of Marly requiring careful travel planning.

At Sotteville-sous-le-val, a 20-meter-high sculpture titled 'Sur la trace des Vikings' stands visible for three kilometers along the motorway.
