The route from Calais, Dunkirk or Boulogne would be using the A16 and A28 motorways which would take you south of Le Mans (via Rouen, Alençon).  When you leave the motorway (A28) at Écommoy you have a journey of about 35 miles to Parçay-Les-Pins.  The total journey is about 350 mile and takes between 6 to 7 hours but from November 2005 the A28 motorway link opens between Rouen and Alençon.  This could take about 1 hour off the present journey time.  

 

Long Channel crossing (3 to 6 hours)
