About the A4 Autoroute
The A4 highway links two very important cities in France: Paris, the capital, and Strasbourg, a large city in the east. It's a key route for travel and trade across the country.
Key Connections
The A4 is part of two big European road networks. These are the E25 and E50 routes. These routes help connect countries across Europe.
Cities and Landmarks
As you travel along the A4, you'll pass by some interesting places. One of the most famous is Disneyland Paris. The highway directly connects this popular theme park with the city of Paris.
The A4 also goes through other major cities. These include Reims, famous for its cathedral and champagne, and Metz, known for its history and architecture.
The End of the Road
When the A4 reaches Strasbourg, it connects to another highway, the A35 autoroute. This A35 road then continues towards Mulhouse and even into Switzerland. This makes the A4 a gateway to other countries in Europe.
