hi, i know this is a same old question. however, we are staying at camping sainte claire neufchatel en bray in the summer, then travelling down to a site near poitiers past tours. i am looking at travelling the slightly slower route dreux evreux etc. is there a route to take that avoids rouen altogether. we are car and caravan. i have seen a longer route down from neufchatel to versailles but dont really fancy anywhere near paris circulars. made that mistake years ago.

Because of the long term roadworks at Pont Gustave-Flaubert, I chose to miss out Rouen by using the Pont de Brotonne. Yes it's further but not a bad drive at all.

If in doubt get yourself tucked in behind a southbound Spanish or Portugese HGV if you are concerned about the tunnels, done it north and south loads of times and never had a problem, yes it can be a bit scary but dont worry about it
