Fuel prices by region in France

Île-de-France packs more than 1,500 gas stations around Paris. Strong competition between chains pushes prices down — as long as you know where to look.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes stretches from the volcanoes of Auvergne to the Alps. Prices are competitive around Lyon and Grenoble, but climb in mountain areas and ski resorts.

Nouvelle-Aquitaine is the largest region in mainland France, stretching from Bordeaux to the Pyrenees. Station density is high and prices generally stay competitive.

Occitanie stretches from Toulouse to Montpellier by way of the Pyrenees. High station density and supermarket competition make it a generally affordable region.

Hauts-de-France has a dense station network between Lille, Amiens and the rural areas of Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Being close to Belgium affects local prices.

The PACA region, from Marseille to Nice, combines dense urban areas with a touristy coastline. Price gaps between the city and the seaside can be significant.

Grand Est brings together Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne-Ardenne. Its border with Germany and Luxembourg creates a distinctive pricing dynamic.

Pays de la Loire is centered around Nantes and the Loire river. The region strikes a good balance between urban and rural stations, with prices generally in line with the national average.

Normandy, between Paris and the English Channel, is a major road corridor. The Caen-Paris and Rouen-Le Havre routes have a good density of stations.

Brittany, a peninsula at the western tip of France, shows significant price gaps between urban areas and its most remote points.

Bourgogne-Franche-Comté is crossed by several major highways (A6, A31, A36). Motorway stations are plentiful but pricey — it's better to exit to fill up.

Centre-Val de Loire sits at the heart of France, between Paris and the Massif Central. Its position as a road crossroads gives it a good station network.

Corsica benefits from favorable fuel taxation: the domestic fuel tax is reduced, which keeps prices structurally lower than on the mainland.
