I am intending a weekend break mrs Rawhide in August and intend to drive to Alercon. I want to take the TVR Cerbera and would like to take a nice scenic route and enjoy the journey.

Is there any good routes anyone can recommend? Anywhere good on route to stop for lunch?

Many thanks!

This is the cross country route I took with a load of TVR's and an exige.

Planned route
Dieppe
Rouen
Elbeuf
Beaumontel
La Barre-en-Ouche
Bocquence
Gace
Belleme
Le Mans

It was a fabulous route with fast flowing roads and just a few bumpy bits to contend with. You could take the middle section from Elbeuf down to Gace and then come up with your own bit down to Alercon

Just put avoid toll road and motorways into the SatNav and it will do the rest, but make sure you put the destination as Alencon cos I dont know where Alercon is ;-)

1) Go the wrong way in Le Havre due to being in the wrong lane at some point (seems to be a requirement for me).
2) Over the Pont de Normandie and off at the first exit and get on to the D579 through Pont l'Eveque where you switch on to the D675.
3) Take your pick of empty little 'D' roads with no-one on them and in better condition than most of out major 'A' roads, working you way down towards Falaise or Trun (nice little bar in the centre of Trun for lunch).
4) Work on down to Argentan then on South through the Foret D'Ecouves for a mix of long, straight runs lined with trees, some nice flowing bends and a random Sherman tank with a plaque telling you how the French won WW2.
5) Pop out of the forest just North of Alercon.
