VFR on Airway in France

I hold a PPL (Belgium) and would like to fly to the south of France. I'd like to use the 'lower airspace airways' for that, shown on the official VFR charts but I am curious about a few things. I've never flown an actual airway before. So here it goes:

- who do you talk to when on the airway? Is that the normal Information Freq or the ACC (Controller) Freq. For example: in the north of France, do I talk to Paris Information of Paris Control?
- Sometimes, the airway penetrates a TMA zone. Do you switch to the TMA frequency or can the Airway Controller clear you through TMA zones?
- .. what class is that airway anyway??

Stupid Questions?
Maybe, but still eager to hear from you guys!

Pour les francophones: je sais me debrouiller en francais, mais je n'ose pas ecrire votre langue. merci!

Hi

You need to talk to Paris Info.
You need to switch to the TMA frequency (but Paris Info will tell you who to contact if you have previously contacted them)
And the airway is Class E below FL115, Class D above FL115, and the TMA's Class in the TMA.
