We are renting a car and driving from CDG to Honfleur than to Bayeux where we are staying. I have read that american credit cards don't always work in the toll machines, so we are planning to use Euros, but not sure what amount of money we will need to pay tolls. Afterwards, we will be traveling to Dordogne and staying in Sarlat, then driving to Toulousse to fly out to Italy. Ball park, how many Euros should I set aside for tolls. I think I'm stressing over this more than I should, but we live in a state without toll roads, so I don't know what to expect.

If you map out your trip on Via Michelin (www.viamichelin.com), it will tell you the cost of the trip with a breakout for the cost of tools and gas and you could change the parameters of the search and go for a route without tolls.

Viamichelin gives you the toll amount, and the average is EUR 0.10/km on the tolled sections. Notable exception is the A14 outside of Paris, costing close to 10 euros for the short stretch (but a good investment nonetheless).

thanks, downloaded the app and looking at the website too. Never knew of this app and already it's putting my mind at ease over tolls. Thanks so much!
