SCENIC ROUTES TO LE MANS

[Felix7]

Going over Wednesday to Calais and probablly stopping off on the way down somewhere nice to enjoy the local vino.

Anyone have any tried and tested routes that incorporate some 'fun' roads?

Thanks

We always try to find scenic routes and stay away from the main roads. Travelling from Dieppe we head toward the Pont de Brotonne and through the forests around there. Great roads and hardly any traffic!

Cheers,

Thanks Mark, I was hoping that someone had a tried and tested route.

We are going over early this year and can afford to 'take' our time, therefore avoiding the dual carriageway from Calais, Rouen and the straight drag down the main N road to Le Mans, although the cafe next to the long straight about 10 miles South of Rouen is always a good vantage point to watch the world and his dog blasting by.

We are hoping to stop off half way down at nice hotel to enjoy the local vino and roll into Le Mans first thing Thursday to claim our tent pitch.

Try typing this into Autoroute

Dieppe - Totes - Yerville - Yvetote - Brionne - Gace - Alencon - Le Mans

Fantastic roads, right up through the forests of mid Brittany. Really nice, had a great race up through there few years back with a mate in his Cobra, I was in a Sylva Striker. We had to park up and wait for the rest of the group. We over took the van carrying all our gear at about 110+. Quite a sight by there accounts when they caught us up!!!!!!

Bring on 2003

All we need to do now is find a few cars going the same way, thanks for the info Mark.
