Rouen Problems

[redstu]

We accidentally went through Rouen city centre on Wednesday afternoon, not too bad actually. Rouen has some nice streets (and some not so nice "streetwalkers").

Came back via Oissel , which takes you the other side of the river and the reconnects just before the Tunnel.
This was at 9am yesterday and it was fine. I'd probably use that route both ways in future, and at one point there is a commercial area which probably has a Carrefour or similar for stocking up with beer (in cans!).

We went via Yvetot - Bourg Archard and I can safely say we will never visit Rouen again!

+1 this t'was lovely that way. Stay off it in 2014 you lot!!

+1 we will definitely always go this way... And as per other post we also availed ourselves of cheap fuel, McD coffee at Le Clerc.. 147 / litre was a welcome sight.

Route we took there and back this year and have done for years. Worked fine heading south last Tuesday, drove straight through. Going home north (approx 1pm Monday / yesterday after driving around the defunct Rouen F1 circuit) the traffic on the southbound carriageway was queued up for quite a way on the A28 approaching the bridge.... so luck played a part.
