Strangely people actually believe the shortest route is always the autoroute or motorway, but it is often not. The romans had a way of making roads, they draw a straight line from a to b and that is the shortest route. Modern autoroutes are far from straight lines so are never the shortest route. Plus you often have to pay tolls and stop and start to leave them. We always use the old road from Rouen to le mans which basically is the old roman road. It is cheaper, quicker and much more scenic than the autoroute and considerably less miles. But doudtless other will disagree. Ok you do have to slow down in places and the beautiful sights will attract your attention but that is better than falling asleep at the wheel, trust me i know.
