Hauts-de-Seine exam centres
Three main centres: Nanterre (place de l'Hôtel de Ville), Montrouge (boulevard Romain-Rolland) and Issy-les-Moulineaux (rue du Général-Leclerc). Average 2026 wait time is 4 to 6 weeks, one of the longest in Île-de-France given candidate density.
Nanterre: the most used 92 centre
The Nanterre centre serves the prefecture, Rueil-Malmaison, Puteaux, Courbevoie, La Garenne-Colombes, Colombes, Suresnes, Asnières, Bois-Colombes. Routes often use boulevard de la République, avenue Lénine, and passages through the pont de Neuilly tunnel (La Défense exit) for exams with motorway portion.
Montrouge and Issy: south service
Montrouge covers Bagneux, Châtillon, Clamart, Fontenay-aux-Roses, Le Plessis-Robinson, Malakoff. Issy-les-Moulineaux serves Boulogne, Meudon, Sèvres, Vanves, Chaville. Both offer varied routes between suburban fabric and RN axes (RN118, RN186).
Average prices in Hauts-de-Seine
The standard 20-hour package costs €1,550-1,800 in 2026 in the 92, slightly above the Île-de-France average. This pricing reflects high commercial rents in communes close to Paris (Boulogne, Neuilly, Levallois) and strong demand. Northern communes (Gennevilliers, Villeneuve-la-Garenne) or southern (Bagneux, Malakoff) show more moderate prices (€1,300-1,500).
La Défense: a special case
The La Défense business district hosts few residential schools (some in Courbevoie and Puteaux), but many companies fund licence training for employees via CPF or CSE. Negotiated group rates sometimes drop to €1,300 for a full package.
Driving specifics in the 92
The 92 combines very dense urban zones (Boulogne, Levallois), motorways (A13, A14, A86, RN118), tunnels (pont de Neuilly, A14 Nanterre-La Défense), and many recent ZACs. The A14 tunnel is particularly instructive for learning motorway merges in constrained areas.
A14 tunnel and Nanterre toll
The A14 (toll motorway) linking La Défense to Orgeval is frequently included in exam routes for candidates ready for motorway tests. The Nanterre toll (mandatory electronic toll since July 2023) is a specific feature to master. Local schools offer 1-2 specific lessons for familiarisation.

Boulogne-Billancourt (117,000 inhabitants): 40 schools, high rates (€1,700-1,950). Nanterre (96,000): 30 schools. Courbevoie (81,000): 25 schools, business/executive specialisation. Colombes (86,000): 30 schools, moderate rates. Asnières-sur-Seine (87,000): 30 schools.
