The '''A1 [[Autoroutes of France|Autoroute]]''', also known as '''l'autoroute du Nord''' (the Northern Motorway), is the busiest of [[France]]'s autoroutes. With a length of 211 kilometers (131 miles), it connects [[Paris]] with the northeastern city of [[Lille]]. It is managed by the [[Société des Autoroutes du Nord et de l'Est de la France]] (SANEF).
 
  
The autoroute serves the northern suburbs of Paris, including the [[Stade de France]], [[le Bourget]], Paris's [[Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport|Roissy Charles de Gaulle International Airport]], and the [[parc Astérix]]. From there it crosses [[Picardie]], without directly passing through any of the major cities of the ''région''. Throughout Picardie, the A1 runs parallel to the [[LGV Nord]].

Revision as of 21:48, 5 September 2007

The A1 in France, also known as l'autoroute du Nord (the Northern Motorway), is the busiest of France's autoroutes. With a length of 211 kilometers, it connects Paris with the northeastern city of Lille.

The autoroute serves the northern suburbs of Paris, including the Stade de France, le Bourget, Paris's Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport, and the parc Astérix. From there it crosses Picardie, without directly passing through any of the major cities of the région. Throughout Picardie, the A1 runs parallel to the LGV Nord.

Around 120 km from Paris, between the towns of Amiens and Saint-Quentin and near the aire de service d'Assevillers (the largest motorway plaza in Europe), the A1 crosses over the A29. A few dozen kilometers further north it forms the southern terminus of the A2, which branches off towards Brussels. The A1 is also crossed by the A26 and the A21, and it makes up part of European routes E15, E17, and E19. At its northern terminus, the A1 turns into the A25.
