Hi folks. We are taking our first trip to France in the van next week.
We will be gone for about 2 months so no hurry.
The loose plan is to head for the Dordogne area and then meander around making the most of the weather.
Our basic route was to go down the A26 taking a couple of days to get to Troyes then across to Orleans . Then head South to the Dordogne.
However when I come to browse the threads on here about routes everyone seems to head West from Calais through Rouen and then head South. Is there a good reason for everyone doing that route and not going the way I was thinking about?
