What makes this page different: the itineraries above
aren't a scraped list of pins. Vaut le Détour (French for "worth the detour") actually
composes your day: restaurants verified open at your real arrival time, fuel or
EV charging guaranteed along the route (with charger price comparison), visits matched
to your crew (kids included), and the stories of the places you pass, read aloud as you drive.
