Yep. I picked up a little Michelin map booklet, and we followed mostly the "D" and sometimes a few "N" roads.
I've travelled from Calais to Paris to Brest back to Paris and up to Caen in 2003.
And then in 2007, Rowan and I travelled from Dunkirk to Ieper to Lille to Paris to Brest, back to Paris and then out to Strasbourg via Nancy and back up to Lille, Ieper, and Dunkirk ... with a few trains, and following the "D" and "N" roads ... and canal tow paths.
