Tried searching previous posts, but older posts say, don’t attempt to pay with a credit card. RS France book says the same. Is this (cash) still the case, or will chip credit cards work at tolls (no pin)?

Visa/MC are generally accepted at all toll booths. The only exception I have found was a toll somewhere near A9 that only took coins.

You do have to pay attention when getting in line for a gate. If it has the card symbol it is not going to be able to take cash. If it has the cash symbol it will take cash and card.

We were there last spring and just tapped in and out with a credit card. A regular chip/non pin credit card.

Our experience in Normandy this past September was that everything - tolls, parking, etc. - was tap and go, and never had any issues with my US credit cards. Always had some Euros as backup but never used them. Couldn't have been easier.

Thanks for confirming chip and tap works fine, no chips. Rick needs to update France book.
We leave two weeks from today! First trip to mainland Europe since we moved back to US in 2020.
