Only commercial RDS-TMC traffic broadcast services are available in France.

The commercial service ''V-Traffic'' is provided by ''Mediamobile'', a subsidiary of [[TDF Group|TDF]], with two shareholders: [[Renault]] and Vinci. The traffic service provides real-time information on 185,000&nbsp;km of main roads in France, including all highways (11 800&nbsp;km). It is transmitted on the frequencies of ''France Inter'' and is received nationally (99% national coverage). The service is not encrypted, but restricts access using different location table numbers. In 2010 the company signed a partnership with Météo-France for a common road weather hazard service.

Another commercial service is provided by ''ViaMichelin'' and ''Carte Blanche Conseil'', transmitted by the ''Towercast'' network (''NRJ'' group). In September 2005 [[PSA Peugeot Citroën]] signed a partnership with ''ViaMichelin''.

A free TMC service was offered by Autoroute FM but discontinued in 2012.

Location tables are released by the government agency ''SETRA''. The latest version 10.1, was certified by TISA in 2013 and released in 2014. It covers 184 913&nbsp;km of roads in France, and contains about 25 984 location data points.
