I’m not sure I’d start from Caen, when coming from Yorkshire.
You would if you’d booked your ferry to Caen
JB, have a look at these:
260, 250, 190 and 165 miles respectively. You can knock them off before breakfast.
Alternatively:
And a long 600 miles, which you could probably use as a base for ideas:

No point, you can’t get there from here
Shocking. Truly shocking.

You have oceans of choice in 6 days
I have fairly often done 6 days in France - in and out of Roscoff in September
Off boat and through passport at 7.30
Anywhere in Massif or Ardeche or Tarn or Dorgogne area is perfect and doable, in that time
Plenty of variations you could do - long or shorter versions
Longer Version could be something:
Day 1 @ Limoges
Day 2 & 3 stay somewhere roughly around Valence like Crest or anywhere in the Vercors
Day 4 @ Florac or Rodez area
Day 5 La Rochelle
Day 6 Back on boat
But multiple shorter versions could be done.
Anywhere South of Limoges and Lyon and East of Limoges and Toulouse you cannot go wrong with
Thank you

My suggestion for day 4 would be to go east from la chatre to saint amand montrand and from there go north to sancerre, picking up your original route at gien. You will get better roads and views going that way. Sancerre is a great place to stop for a meal en route too. Try to avoid the major roads as they tend to be straight and featureless. I live near Bourges so these are my local roads.

Thank you.
It shows how deceptively large France is. It doesn’t look far on the map but it’s about 125 miles. Three hours, maybe longer with a stop on the D roads.
A couple of years ago the bridge that Mr Eiffel built and an ancient lava flow were boxes I want ticked, and the roads in the area were what I'd call "proper" France ie nice and quiet. Also the area around the source of the Loire is good. An easy couple of days from Caen avoiding motorways: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Cae...try=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDQwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw==
This might be of interest, to avoid any Crit' Air problems: https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/europe/caen-le-havre-new-regulations-105953
the Caen port at Ouistreham is not in the zone itself, the zone boundary is the Caen ring road. It is possible to navigate there without going on the Caen ring road by using the D514 to/from Pegasus Bridge or Juno Beach directions.
Le Havre port is inside the zone.
