Depends on how he wants to do it. Is the journey part of the holiday if you get mydrift, or is it just a means of getting there? Which port will he arrive at? One route I've used is..... Caen ( Ouistreham) - Alencon, Le Mans, Tours, Chateauroux, Montlucon, north of Vichy to Roanne, Lyon, Grenoble, then the route Napoleon to Cannes & Nice. Most of this is single carriageway - a good 2 day run. Avoid..... the centre of Lyon at 1700 on a Friday evening..... the middle of Nice in a midday monsoon when half the city is under attack from roadworks!! Keep the speed down in built up areas...speed traps abound these days. |
