According to this they're both about the same although Charente Maritime is higher as you go towards the coast

I avoided the route past Paris and went Le Mans way (A28) was 5 1/2 hours both ways.
Was a little heavier on Sunday, but nothing compared to the UK!

Was wondering about that! Nevertheless, good timing, I think the last time I did Coquelles-Poitiers is was 7.5hrs (including 45 minutes of stops).
