Does anybody know if the new motorway between Rouen and Le Mans is open this year and, if not, what's the A138 from Rouen to Le Mans like?

Cheers

Thanks Darren,

We're going to be pushed for time this year so need to get down to Le Mans ASAP.

If we take the N138 and 'peg it' what's the best guess for time from Rouens through to Le Mans?

Sorry to ask crap questions - we usually go through Paris but want to try and avoid that this year!

Cheers guys,

I think I'll risk it - it's got to be better than being stuck on the Perepherique for 2 hours!

We sail at one o'clock on Thursday afternoon so I reckon we'll easily get down there in time to get the tents up and out for some beer.

Hi Jason,

When you say most of it is open, roughly how much travelling is there still to do on the back roads, and did you do the full stretch from Rouen to Le Mans?

I know the reccommendation is to take the back roads anyway, but we are in a convoy of fairly mixed performance so would probably end up getting split up if we didn't take the autoroute.

Best regards

John
