Bit early but forearmed is forewarned. Subject to MIL's health we are crossing to France Dieppe ferry early December and driving down to Marjal guardamar. Is there a legal requirement for snow chains?

We haven't travelled at that time of year and wondered if it would be necessary, don't know if the snow will be so bad in early December, sounds like it may be so snow chains it is.
Done this route in early December every year, never needed snow chains, but I've seen some proper snow! I always find the toll roads are kept clear (same in Spain)
Never seen the signs that yodeli refers to though

We have done this route the last 2 years travelling down to south of Spain through France around the 20th December. Going down both times has been fine, 1st time we went toll roads and never came across any snow. Last year we avoided tolls and we came across a little whilst going through the pyranees on the way down. However on the way back we hit a ton of snow again through the pyranees. I did have chains with me but by the time it got really bad we were already on the way down on the otherside with no where to stop so just took it easy and used the "hill descent" option in our van. This was a life saver but i would definitely ensure you have chains or socks of some description. Take it easy and i am sure you will be fine, common sense normally prevails.
This year we are avoiding France altogether and going Portsmouth to Santander for the very reason stated above and it will save us 3 days approx. I dont get long over xmas before i go back to work so trying to maximize the time.

Bought mine (for my car) after the bad, freezing winter of 2010.(?)
Only been trial fitted and never seen rain never mind snow.
I feel robbed !!!
