Road trip to Dammarie-les-Lys from Brunoy: Routes, distances, and drive times

Looking to take a road trip from lovely Brunoy to Dammarie-les-Lys? While it may seem like a quick drive, the distance between these two Île-de-France towns requires some planning to ensure the journey is as smooth as the destination. But fret not, adventurer! Let's take a look at the different routes and driving times, and suggest some fun stops to keep you entertained along the way.

The main route: A6

Let's start with the most obvious route: the A6. Essentially a straight shot from Brunoy to Dammarie-les-Lys, taking the A6 will cover approximately 35km (21.7 miles) and is expected to take around 30 minutes, depending on traffic of course. While the route is straightforward and easy to navigate, you might miss out on some of the beautiful scenery en route.

Going through the "back roads"

Feeling adventurous? Try taking the D36 instead of the A6. This route will add an additional 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) to your trip, but the winding roads will take you through some lovely country towns and rolling agricultural landscapes. Driving times can vary depending on the time of day and traffic conditions but expect about 45 minutes of driving time. Don't forget to stop by one of the local markets and pick up some picnic supplies for a lovely rest stop.

Taking the scenic route via D319

If a longer scenic route appeals to you, take the D319 from Brunoy to Dammarie-les-Lys. This route will add approximately 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) to your drive but offers the most spectacular views of the region's natural beauty. Expect to drive for at least an hour on a winding road, but you'll pass by Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, a beautiful castle, and a great spot to take amazing photos.

Driving through the Major highways

If you are looking to get to your destination in the shortest possible time, the A5 and A6 highways are your best option. At under 39 kilometers (24.2 miles), this is the quickest route, only taking approximately 25 minutes. Due to the fast pace of the highways, your focus will likely be on the drive itself, but you might want to take a quick break and stretch your legs at the Aire d'Erceville Ouest rest station for a quick bite to eat.

The final verdict

There is no "right" way to travel from Brunoy to Dammarie-les-Lys; it depends on your preferences. If you want to make a road-trip out of it, then take the D319 or D36. A speedy arrival is possible with the A5 and A6 highways, while the A6 will allow you to enjoy the beautiful scenery en route. Regardless of which route you take, you will arrive in Dammarie-les-Lys in time to experience all the charm that this town has to offer.
