[lafcadio]

off in a last hurrah before it goes....any ideas as to a good route from LeHavre to La Rochelle?

No idea, but post up the route when you are back - may do the trip later in the year

Only time I've ever done it I was in a rush, so stuck to autoroutes - which are quick but not much fun. And as I recall there were a lot of speed traps on them.

Orleans and Blois aren't a million miles out of your way, and are nice places to visit with some nice back roads around them. I guess Le Mans would be a must too

Be careful around the port at Le Havre. The locals have a special way of not being very welcoming to British tourists coming off the boat as far as letting them join the traffic goes.

Same at Calais when you are joining the main road after exiting the tunnel at peak times.
