I drove it on Friday and there was no roadworks to speak of.

Thanks. As in as wide as cutting across to Bourge-en-Bresse, or just that A15-A432 that skirts around Saint Expurery airport ?
|
I usually go via the A42 past Bourg en Bresse, but it then joins the A432 passing very very close to Lyon Airport. I do not like the A6 and at Easter it will be full of Belgium heading for the Med

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That's good news. I did wonder where they'd all appeared from!

If its anything like British roads, roadworks are known to just spring up overnight though....check out googlemaps and michellin, they are both listing delays.

Googlemaps still lists construction work at Amiens, Saint Quentin, Reims, Beaune.
|

But will you be going to Amiens or Beaune? There might well be bits and pieces but unless there's something huge you're still better off on the A26. Take a good audio book - passes the time beautifully.

Also, remember that road works on French motorways (away from Paris and Lyon) don't tend to cause big problems because traffic levels are so much lower than in the UK.

Sorry @pam w, I meant these are the closest towns, but listed on the A26

The A26 goes from Calais to Troyes. Neither Amiens nor Beaune are near the A26, are they?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@pam w, not in the slightest bit close.

@pam w Agree on the audio book - makes a potentially tedious drive quite pleasant!

You know it makes sense.

+1 on the audio books. Having four kids in the back means those seat back DVDs aren't practical, so we put on an audio book that the whole family listens to. David Walliams is a favourite, and I've lined up a couple of Alex Rider stories for the drive to Morzine this weekend. They last for *hours*.
One friend of mine told me she listened to 'Fifty Shades of Grey' on her earphones. Said it leaved her hands free...

I was looking at my route to Albertville, and where there are roadworks. Semantics people.

But Amiens, for example, is nowhere near your route. Just relax, it'll be fine. A few minor roadworks will make little or no difference.

I picked a town near the little roadworks sign. I have a week to go, I'm sure they will move the little orange man off the google map and put him some place else. And now I'm off to play 'sitting on the M25'
