Many thanks for that. I've bookmarked it for future reference.

I particularly liked the 'tolls worth paying' section and the predicted savings in journey time.

I particularly like this bit Brian:- "Take Exit 10, signed Bayonne in green. Follow the D810 through to the Spanish border. Warning: this last toll-free alternative will take up to an hour longer than the motorway"
The first year of our retirement, we went on a three month tour of France and managed to get as far as St Jean de Luz without touching a peage. However, that last bit skirting Bayonne and cutting through Biarritz was hell. So much so that after camping at St Jean we decided to jump on a motorway as fast as we could.
However, although we had travelled with ease on French motorways many times on previous trips, this particular junction didn't have a toll booth on its slip road but we were immediately confronted by a large toll area as soon as we joined the carriageway. I sort of panicked and for some reason started to drag the Eriba through a 2 metre max. height gantry.
Realising my mistake, I decided to reverse out only to find that a large queue of rather irate French drivers has pulled up behind me. The geezer in the Merc soft top immediately behind me was particularly put out when he saw our van coming backwards at him.
Looking at the plastic fringe hanging down from the gantry in front, I judged it to be far higher than 2 metres so hoping there wasn't something more severe ahead, we pulled forward, took a ticket and drove on.
Many miles ahead at the next toll, we only had to pay for the car. I wouldn't advise doing the same think however, especially with a 2.2 metre Troll.

Silly boy !!!! In both the case of the Randas and the Frantones, The Naggyvator of course.....

Last year we decided on a direct route south from Sully-sur-Loire to La Châtre in the Indre region.
We soon picked up the D940 which took us from place to place via Bourges and it was the straightest road we can ever remember travelling on. Good road surface too.
