It is not for the faint-hearted

Well I suppose you could go down the A75 and cut across down the N102 perhaps. I don't know it but it might be worth some research.

We missed Lyon by going down the N7 from Orleans via Nevers, Moulins and Roanne to St Etienne - and joining the Rhone valley motorway south of Lyon. Not a bad road at all.

Was that way any quicker? We want to get there asap and avoid faffing about with the Rouen route which was why we plumped for the faster autoroute all the way route.

We're also travelling through Lyon on a Saturday. After an overnight stop near Troyes, I'm hoping by the time we get to Lyon the traffic may not be too bad. Unfortunately we've already paid a deposit on a b&b for our overnight stop so can't really change the route. Just hoping that after several years of pain free travel through France this won't be the first time we get caught out!
