Hey there jpchenet. that comment at the bottom of your posting, about the man in the woods.......................... Only a married man knows the answer to that, and it is always YES ....I know from years of experience!
We had an OK journey down from Calais, but Rouen was a real pain in the ar**. It was the same on the journey back, but I was trying to avoid Paris. I've drive round Paris a few times before, and it is tempting me for next year (Rouen was so bad). Any thoughts?
