Thanks! Of course I have the great advantage of that 3 cylinder diesel, who now seems to be begging for this kind of driving.

Don't know for sure if 80 km/h on secondary roads will be more fuel efficient than hypermiling behind a truck at 90 km/h on highways … We'll have to find out. My bet is that you have to ignore 6th gear.
Been to Oleron (and Ré) one time, beautiful islands. I'm going to Brenden, Germany this summer. About 10 km of the Swiss border
