Does anyone know how much the tolls would be for a car and caravan travelling from Le Havre to La Roche Sur Yon in the Vendee. I have seen people recommend both the route via Caen, Rennes, Nantes (which we have done before) and also the toll route through Le Mans and Angers. We will be travelling on Friday 6th August so any suggestions etc would be much appreciated. Thanks J

Sorry it must be the excitement of going in a weeks time! Our ferry is a night crossing on the 6th and we travel through France on the 7th!

I have looked at many route planners but I had hoped for comments from people who have actually done these routes as to which one they prefer. Sometimes it's nice to have a human opinion instead of a computer print out. I will probably stick to the Rennes/Nantes route as I know it's pretty good, unless anyone out there can advise me otherwise.

Made the mistake last year of travelling on the first Saturday in August so Le Havre to La Rochelle took 12 hours!!! We're a week later and a Friday so here's hoping.

Its funny we made exactly the same mistake last year going to much the same area.

I am still not sure which way to go but like you hope that someone out there may have the answers to your question.

Have a great holiday. Where are you going??

We went Calais to La Roche sur yon on the tolls. While I know this isnt your route and discounting the first toll from Boulogne to Abbeyville. The tolls from Rouen to La Roche were just under 35 euros. Hope this helps.

Have a good trip.

Any route that doesn't involve going North through Rouens LOL! Rouens has "ruined" our return trip twice...

Rouen was a bit slow! but it made a change from the endless autoroutes! Its a bit strange that things fall apart around there road wise.

(Ps we had to go autoroutes to get to ferry in time)

Just got back from Vendee

if you go on the michelin website it not only gives you routes it tells you how much the tolls will be.

the toll for the A28 was 26.20 and the one at Beauliu was 8.60

there were bad bouchons( bottlenecks) delaying up to 45 mins leading up to the peages yesterday

We just drove back from NOIRMOUTIER to Le havre with a stop in Beamont sur sarthe on the way. We went from Noirmoutier to Nantes, round the periphique then autoroute to angers, on to Beaumont. Easy drive, no problems probably cost about 35 euros all in. From Beamont we went up the autoroutes all the way (Alencon, Lisieux, and then to le havre). Took only two hours and I THINK it was around 25 euros. All routes clear and great driving.

Have a great time.
