We had a big Iveco filled to the brim, two dogs, a child and stopped for 5 hours, got lost 3 times, once in Madrid, once in Paris and once in some small little French village while looking for a cashpoint.

All in all quite a hectic journey sorry if it wasn't fast enough

Perhaps in a nippy car we could have done it faster

I've been lost in Paris

Avoid Paris at all costs

Absolutely...if you're going to get lost, Madrid is much more fun.

Bordeaux is interesting, especially if you arrive there at 5pm without a hotel room booked

Getting lost in Bordeaux is a real gas!!!!

Re: Route to Spain

We do Valencia to Dunkerque all on non toll roads - but not via Barcelona - as it's not on a direct route.

Valencia, Sagunto, Teruel, Pamplona, Biarritz, Bordeaux, Poitiers, Tours, Chartres, Rouen, Abbeville, Dunkerque.

Years ago while I was stationed in Germany (Ramstein Air Base) we drove to Amsterdam. At the time I was reading the book "A Bridge Too Far", about Operation Market Garden.
Coming back we got lost and found myself smack in the middle of the battlefield- Arnheim/Nijmegan....looking at buildings that you could see had been re-built from the battle (different color/tone of brick or rock). It was all rather erie.
