In April we will be in Bayeau for three days and will have a car. Then we need to drive East across France to St. Avold which is not too far from Strasburg. We are doing it in one day but we need an idea of a small town or village where we can stop for.lunch and stretch our legs somewhere halfway there. Hopefully someone has some.suggestions. Thanks.

I have driven the route from Bayeux to the German border or Strasbourg off and on for a little less than 20 years. The National Route toll road if you go straight thru Paris can take up to 8-10 hours. Driving north from Rouen and back down to the NR allows for about 7 hours to the German Border. Most of the trip either way is very rural and the available “small towns and villages” near the freeway is limited. I’ve stopped at Amiens, Reims and Verdun which to various degrees might meet your desires. Beyond that getting off the freeway will be a long journey to find some place to stretch yours legs and eat.
I’m sure others will pitch with other ideas. Good Luck!
