Bourges (18), in Centre-Val de Loire, lies in a predominantly rural region crossed by the Loire and its tributaries. The road network combines toll motorways (A10, A71) and structuring departmental roads serving the sub-prefectures. Crossing the Loire valley demands attention to bridges and tourist roads, sometimes narrow between chateaux and villages. In a medium-sized town like Bourges, candidates learn to navigate one-way streets, central car parks and town entrances often congested at peak hours. Repeatedly switching between 50 and 30 km/h structures much of the exam.
