Anyway, there are various forms of toll collection in France, which is a bit tricky. My chip card also encountered an issue once, near Nice. Later, after pressing the call button, the other party asked if we had change. We said no, and they let us pass and drive to the office next door, where we paid them directly. The staff even chatted with my husband for a while and asked if he wanted a cigarette ? France Q&A
Friends renting from Hertz at Charles de Gaulle Airport should be aware of their consumption trap. The staff will always quote prices in euros and the credit card pre-authorization will also be in euros. As you are in Europe, you naturally assume that the expenses are in euros. However, you will find that you have been charged in dollars on the actual bill, and the exchange rate is relatively unreasonable. If you carefully look at the Hertz invoice, it does mention that you can pay in US dollars, but no one will ask you if you want to choose US dollars because the pre-authorization has already been opened, and there is no need to swipe your credit card again when changing the car. They will directly charge you in US dollars, and their exchange rate may result in overcharging you. I was overcharged more than 300 RMB for one transaction ? France Q&A
