No it is front wheel drive....Is not mandatory at the airport of Marseille ...Do not take chains......Huge mistake ....Imagine going from each stage to another or to Gap and have every time to stop in the cold to put it/out the chains....Impossible....i think the extra cost for winter tyres at Sitx was 88e

Chains are really mandatory at some roads. There is a traffic sign showing where they are mandatory. For sure You will encounter such roads when You visit RMC.
You can buy the chains for around 20 Euro so it might be easier to buy them than to try to rent them.Last edited by Mirek; 23rd November 2018 at 14:32.

When we were visiting the Turini some years ago police were stopping all cars to ask if they had snow chains. Without them you weren't allowed to continue, and had to turn back.

If it's mandatory it's mandatory. In France winter tyres are not mandatory but chains are (on certain roads). Don't ask me why.
Secondly yes, You need them in the mountains from time to time. Driving from a tight hairpin in a steep uphill with FWD can make You stuck very easily. Also don't forget that there is a lot of traffic on these roads which means that plenty of times what You could get through, if You were alone there, is undriveable because the traffic is too slow or because You must stop in uphills because of others. That's why in all Alpine countries chains are mandatory on some roads (in Austria they use digital traffic signs and activate them only when the weather requires so). Don't know how is that in France but in Austria if You have 4x4 You can go without chains I think.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump
