PS Roouen ain't no village. Its a fair size with ocean going ships berthing there!!!!Greetings,
In giving the following information I'm assuming that from Rouen you are heading for Evreux and then Chartes to pick up the old N10. If you're not then this info is of no use, however.
Travelling along the A28 from Abbeyville on the outskirts of Rouen you will encounter a long steep hill followed by an equally long and downhill sloping tunnel.
On emerging at the other end you should keep your eyes skinned for a sign to the Airport. From memory it's the third exit after the tunnel exit but it is clearly signed. Leave the A28 at this point and follow the road down to a set of traffic lights which are at a T junction. You want to do a left turn at these lights and get yourself over to the right hand lane because, almost immediately, there is a second set of lights at a cross roads. (seems frightening but I've never had the lights in my favour and consequently it can be taken as slowly as you want.)
Immediately after the cross roads, the road to the Airport is straight (D6014) on but you are looking to veer off right onto the D6015 which will be signed Pont de l'arch and possibly Evreux. Follow this road down the side of R Seine for about 6miles where there is a roundabout. Take the left turn and then after Pont de l'arch where you will cross the river, you will pick up signs for the A154 to Evreux.
I hope the above is of use but wherever you finish up, have a good holiday.
Regards

PS Although you're going through the town it's a dual carriageway with all the attributes of a Motorway.Ian,
First things first. Please don't worry. Whilst I appreciate that very few of us 'enjoy' the unusual, from my experience of French roads and traffic signs there is very little to get in a lather about.
I note that you are heading for Le Mans.
There is a peage(toll) road from Rouen to Le Mans and that is the A28 south of Rouen. If you want to do that then the signs all the way from Abbeyville, through Rouen will be obvious and very easy to follow. My latest information is that it costs 10 Euros solo and 18 Euros with a caravan.
If you don't want to pay that toll then follow my directions (above) and go to Evreux. After the above directions you will be on the N154 which is a dual carriageway. After bypassing Evreux you will, after about 17mls arrive at a roundabout near the town of Nonancourt. From that roundabout you have the choice of right (N12) to Alencon and then D338 to Le Mans or left to Dreux and then right onto D928 via Nogent Rotrou to Le Mans. This choice of routes is not exclusive. There are loads of very good quality roads in the area and I have noticed several alternatives whilst looking at the map in writing this thread to you.
That is all part of the enjoyment in visiting France. There are literally hundreds of villages and towns that we, the British, have never discovered, that would be, if in the UK, be described as tourist 'honey pots'.
