Off again to Dordogne in August and wondering if others go via Paris or avoid it?  last year did very well with the directions through AA routefinder, got to campsite at tea time (live v close to Dover so could get early early ferry!!!) but is there a better way?  Came back via Blois on A roads and would not repeat that, far too fiddly!!! Yes the Toll roads are exensive, but saves on patience!!!

Any suggestions greatly listened to!

Yes Ther is We are going to the Dordogne in August go A16. A28 .to Rouen N15.D7.A13 N154. to Evreux to N12 Druex to N154 Goaround Chartres to N154 to J12 or J13 to The A10 to Orleans and Then the A71 to A20 Dordogne.

Hey!

Thanks for that, how long does this take you?  We came back via the non toll roads and found it frustrating as many of them are single lane and you get stuck behind a lorry, thats its!!!  We are on the 6am ferry, into Calais at 8.30am so really want to be down there in time for pizza, beer in the bar and still time to put up the tent!

Thanks!

If you use www.mappy.com and stipulate via Rouen to match the above route, it will give you a time based on the speed limits for the different roads but without breaks or holdups. We did that route to the Lot region last year and it took us approx 11hours with breaks. We were further south than the Dordogne though.
