Route Calais to Vendee (La Garangeouire Site)
Folks. i would be grateful for a little bit of advice.
Have now toured twice in France and stuck to the toll roads. However, next July 27 i will be travelling from Calais to Vendee, Saint Julien Des Landese. Looking at Via Michelin, i appear to have a number of similar options with wildly different toll rates, down to no tolls. Options seem to be:
via Rouen, Le Mans and Angers, total of 412 miles and £66 in tolls taking 7 1/2 hours
Via Caen and Rennes 453 miles and £32 tolls with 8 1/2 hours or
Toll free route, similar to Caen and rennes above but seems to go through Rouen rather than avoid it north with 10 hrs 42. Having experienced Rouen before i guess it would be best to avoid but i would really welcome a recommendation from someone more experienced.
Many thanks in anticipation
