I've got an inforad which warns me of the fixed ones so no problem. The first time I was there though, I didn't have the inforad and like Gav says, they can be hard to spot.
Once I was going round a tight right hairpin, bike cranked over, then suddenly saw one right beside me but luckily it was front facing.

Welll you can't get much louder than a VRaptor with twin M4s. We had to accompany my best mate in her search to register her z1000 on French plates, and had to quietly sit outside the cop shop in Rochefort.

The Gendarmes were very very interested with this English plated Raptor .......for about five minutes, obviously never seen one before, never battered an eyelid about the noise(well they wouldn;t be they were deaf)

If you are on peages, the way to get around the average speed cameras is, to stop and have a brew a lot. But be aware that there are unmarked cars sitting on one side of a toll, and another one further down, they like to watch you carefully.
