Recommended stopover places en route to SW France
Does anyone have any favourite locations they go to to break the long journey from Calais down to Bordeaux? Any recommendations would be gratefully received.
Most of the places I know are around Orleans, but you'll be further west, so I would look at Tours - lively place with plenty of hotels and restaurants for every budget. If you want to stop a bit sooner, you could try Le Mans, just don't test out your car on the Mulsanne straight, because les flics know about it too, and they're always there, waiting!
Jumping is just dressage with speed-bumps.
Le Mans once drove an old Austin Westminster down the Mulsanne straight.
However, it has more to offer that just a giant roundabout. The roudabout is used several times a year for events other than the 24 hour parade.
What does it have to offer. A lovely historic medieval centre.
Go at the right time of year to see this. http://www.nuitdeschimeres.com/?lang=en

if you take the motorways of which some are tolls according to viaMichelen the tolls now add up to €76.20. Last time we dove back to the Netherlands we chose to take the non toll roads as much as possible.
The road through Rouen is usually very busy and signs can be confusing as junction slips can be very close together.

Never try to out-stubborn your guests.
