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.
