Autoroutes of France

The A3 autoroute is a short but important highway in France. It connects the Boulevard Périphérique, which is a big ring road around Paris, to the A1 autoroute. This highway is about 15 kilometers (about 9 miles) long.

The A3 passes through several towns just east of Paris. These include Montreuil-sous-Bois, Rosny-sous-Bois, and Bondy. A part of the A3 highway is shared with another major road, the A86. The A3 is also part of a larger European road network, known as European route E15. Because it connects to the A1, the A3 helps link central Paris with the Charles de Gaulle airport.
