Which route from Caen to Bordeaux region  ??

Travelling at end of July in holiday season - Using motorways I have two options -

1. A28 and A10    (Le Mans/Tours/Poitiers)

2. A84 and A10    (Rennes/Nantes)

Both have similar times and distances (on paper !)  - however, surely one must be quicker/better !!!!!

I do know the A     route will cost around 25 euro more in tolls.

Any help would be good.

I did this trip in reverse the other year.

From just north of Bordeaux -> Angouleme (N10) -> Poiters -> Tours -> Le Mans -> Caen. Road to Angouleme was good dual carriageway most of the way....would do it again.

Always do route 2 down to la rochelle way find it more interesting if 10 mins longer and a lot of €€ cheaper

(did try route 1 about 4 years ago to get to le havre but the road wasnt finished even though it was on map!! it is finished now)

As much of the N10 as possible!
If speed is your goal.
Otherwise ... the coast route is more picturesque.
