Thanks - happy with all the route options away from Calais - usually stop at a quiet little Super U supermarket (St Jamme de la Sarthe -(it's 2km off main road)) and cheap petrol to fill up after doing bit of D338 below Alencon which goes through Beaumont Sur Sarthe. It's a nice stop 20 mins or so before Waze roulette and hustle of Le Mans.
We have shuttle just after 8 for 2 cars but now have annoyingly a 30 wait for 3rd car which amazingly can't fit on its original space so rather than wait at the first Aire after the peage ticket booth/viaduct was hoping for somewhere a bit more relaxing and also it's a 6.30ish start from home and would be good to stop for breakfast. Shame about ferries recently on that front.
Do have a nice 1st Quality Air sticker for the little V8. Only place i'd be worried about at Rouen is the Esso station where we occasionally stop to fill up again on way back.
