Dean - have you actually looked out possible routes, or are you just planning on using Tom Tom all the way?   If so, be aware that the tolls can mount up on some routes. 

Mappy.com shows a route using the A75, which is toll free from Clermont Ferrand down to Beziers, and the total tolls with car and caravan using that route is 110.00 euros - quite an expense on top of your fuel (which will be much more expensive on the autoroutes anyway).  Viamichelin will take you virtually the same way, so make sure you allow for a couple of hundred pounds in tolls for the journeys there and back.

We went through Paris last year towing our TT and giuded only by the trusty satnav. It was a Saturday in July, mid morning. It was okay...

....except for the junctions and general on-off slips. Trust me, you have to trust the satnav implicitly. You will be going at some speed and the French drivers won't give you an inch more than they think you need. (Which will be enough, but you might feel you wanted a bit more.) Basically Hubby watched the road and traffic and drove  and I watched the satnav/map/the junction numbers. Between us we made it through.

We're not ever going to do it again though, not even if the alternative is to go round via Normandy.
