Montereau-sur-le-Jard: Péage des Eprunes - A5
Péage des Eprunes sits on the Brie plateau in Île-de-France, where the A5 leads from the outer Paris road network towards Troyes, Langres and eastern France. The broad toll station at Montereau-sur-le-Jard forms an operational threshold between the capital region and the long-distance autoroute, with separate lanes for cars and heavy goods traffic. Its setting is notably open and level, amid Brie’s agricultural land rather than an urban centre. Brie is a historic province whose name is carried by the celebrated soft cheese associated with this part of northern France. The site also lies close to Melun, the Seine-et-Marne prefecture, reinforcing its role in regional movement.

This small Seine-et-Marne commune lies south-east of Paris, where cultivated fields and gently rolling terrain create a distinctly rural setting. The aerodrome, shared with neighbouring Réau, gives the locality a direct connection to France’s aerospace sector. At the village centre, the Church of Saint-Martin recalls the older parish settlement behind the modern airfield.
