rouen
There is a knack to crossing Rouen from north to south. There is a sneaky lane-change required part way across, which is very badly signposted and as soon as you see it, you have about 2 seconds to get into the correct lane despite any other traffic in the way before it shears off. If you miss it, you are fucked, but once you have it sussed, its plain sailing.

Fair play
(and I realised I spelt it wrong too after your reply!).

Nowdays I drive straight through Paris instead of going across the top and down - I find it easier. In fact, I'd find it easier to reverse around Paris than forwards through Rouen.

Paris
I tried that, and all was going well until a stub axle snapped off my trailer in the middle lane of the Paris ringroad. I could only see about half a mile of jammed traffic visible behind me as everyone filtered past, but from the traffic news on the radio, a fairly decent proportion of paris was screwed up that day.
