Thanks for all the replies to my posting, concerning the A28. We returned from 24 last weekend. We followed Matt C,s directions Rouen, Dreux, Chartres, A71 and A20 outward. We travelled through the night, so after Rouen we had frequent stops. It took about 8.5 hours driving time. On the return journey we travelled A20, A85, D765 to Blois, A10 and A28. After approximately 30 minutes on the A20 we hit a traffic jam, the result of an earlier accident. Took 3 hours to drive 100 miles. The rest of journey was good, mostly clear roads, the A28 was quite, except for a small holdup at the peage at the top. It did take longer to drive, the traffic jam being the problem, but the return was about 100 miles longer than outward. Not sure if I would take that route to 24 again. I have to say on a good day the Paris route is the better. Bill
