D 357 au Route nationale 138 or RN 138 was a French Route nationale (trunk road) linking Rouen to Tours in the North-West of France. Part of the road (now RD 338) is temporarily a portion of the Circuit de la Sarthe known as the Mulsanne Straight.
Downgrade
Before the 1972 downgrade, the RN 138 linked Rouen to Saintes via Saumur. This portion of the road was partly downgraded between La Flèche and Niort, becoming RD 938. It was later renumbered:
- RN 147 between Longué-Jumelles and Montreuil-Bellay
- RN 150 between Niort and Saintes.
The remainder was downgraded in 2006. The road was then renumbered according to each département:
- RD 438 in Eure
- RD 438 in Orne
- RD 338 in Sarthe
- RD 938 in Indre-et-Loire
