We are renting a car in Trier and are considering driving to Dijon in one day but really don't know how many hours this would take. Is there anyone who has done a similar drive and could give some idea - we don't want to spend 10 hours in a car to get to Dijon and would consider spending a night enroute in Nancy, France. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Google Maps will give you as good an idea as you're going to get of the driving time http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wlthe times shown are road time only, add for any stops.

Are you returning the car to Germany when you are done?Dropping in another country gets expensive.You could train to Dijon and rent a car there.

Someone here suggested using the Michelin website, I did since we were traveling back and forth between Germany and France. Not only do they give you the detailed instructions, but they also give you estimated fuel costs and toll road costs!

We sre doing something similar in a couple of weeks. Mapquest is what I use - it says it will take you 3.5 hours. I would add one more hour to that to get a true time. Good luck!
