I'm involved in a charity ride in the summer over 3 days, and for some reason they've put me in charge of routes!
The first bit down the Cherbourg peninsula to Caen doesnt seem to offer too many options - mainly the N13 which I really dont fancy. After that its a bit easier to pick quiet roads though.
Has anyone pedalled this way and got any tips?

I haven't cycled it but I've driven a few times. I'm pretty sure that there is a coastal route on the peninsula which takes in beaches and some WW2 points of interest, I remember reading about it whilst killing time in the ferry terminal. You could take either side of the peninsula and have a much more enjoyable ride for a small increase in mileage.
You are right about the N13, its a very quick road and it wouldn't be ideal from a safety or scenery point of view.
Are there any roads/cycle-tracks that follow the Seine?
A (cycling) friend of mine lives north of Paris on the Seine, do you want me to ask him?
