Depends on when you are travelling. The first time we went to St Julien des Landes it was a Saturday at the beginning of August and we took the Nantes route and regretted it as we sat for an hour in hot sunshine in a queue just waiting to get onto the ring road. In the end we went the opposite way round to the sign posts as the traffic was so bad once you got onto the ring road itself. It's just a big circle so it really doesn't matter which way you go round it and it was much quicker once we were going against the traffic.

I quite take your point. However, when travelling around London we always get up-to-date information on M25 hold-ups etc. and are prepared, at a moment's notice, to fly off route!  Is there any easy way that we can do the same thing if we're travelling around peripheriques in France (or other countries)?

It's the same people who express fears of going round Nantes as those who express fears about the M25 around London and The Periphique in Paris.
