![]() ![]() If you want to be a bit more adventurous try Logis de France Independant but all meeting the Logis standard, more 'real' French and not necessarily any more expensive. Campanile & Kyriad (again one group - but 2 websites this time!) are also generally OK in my experience. The Accor website is a good place to start as they own several brands (Ibis, Novotel, Etap, Formule1 etc.) so they are all on the same website. This then meets the A10 North of Orleans, from where you take the A20 all the way down to the Dordogne.Īs far as staying goes you won't go too far wrong with any of the French chains, though the cheaper ones can be quite basic, you get what you pay for. ![]() I think it's actually signed Orleans all the way form Evreux, and it's all the N154 so pretty easy really. The extra 30 minutes via Rouen is well worth it, the route is A16 / A28 to Rouen (very lightly used motorways until Rouen) a bit of navigation needed through Rouen itself (still on m/way / dual carraigeway but with a couple of junctions to watch out for- follow signs for Paris A13 m/way.) After a few miles on the A13 take A154 to Evreux which turns into the N154, then follow the signs to Dreux which you go round on a bypass by following signs to Chartres, then you go round Chartres on the bypass following signs to Orleans. In any case Paris is best avoided on Friday evening at any time of year, especially if you're not experienced in doing it and have small children in the car. Traffic in general going South could be a bit heavy, but it's not one of the really bad French summer weekends ( ) Mand's DH here, wheeled out for the usual French travel query! Any tips/suggestions for thatjourney - maybe paris will be OK on that journey if we pass through early sunday morning in Sept?įar too many questions - I apologise! Any thoughts gratefully received! but we would rather the chunk of the jounrey was done on the sat in roder for us to get a lunchtime ferry from calais on the sunday - as we are both back at work on the monday. I am wondering whether it is worth the longer journey to avoid the Paris ringroad? DH has the Friday off work, but it seems whatever we work it, we would be hitting it sometime in the Friday rush hour - unless we stayed north of paris Fri night and then got up ealry and did it on sat morning? Or is it better to avoid Paris - and go via rouen? is that worth the extra travel? in which case, does anyone have any recommendations for where we should stay? I am keen not to have to negotiate any big towns - so anything cheap on the roadside, but bookbale would suit well!įinally, on the way home - we leave the proeprty on Saturday and will stay over on the way home. ![]() Cant wait!Īm just figuring out routes and where to stay and would really value advice from anyone who has done this. We (me, DH, 3 year-old DD and 19 month DS) are off for 2 weeks self-catering in the dordogne from 28th August for 2 weeks. ![]()
