This is very helpful, even though I'm not using a GPS, just to get a sense of the route itself. I recall that last time the approach eastward into Villaines felt to be going all arond the houses (well, fields actually) and this confirms that it is a rather roundabout approach. Why wouldn't one just go straight down the N12 from Fougeres, via Mayenne, especially if doing that stretch at night? Or is PBP a "required" rather than "recommended" route?
