Calais, Abbeville, westernside of Paris, Orleans, Clermont Ferrand, Millau viaduct (unmissable) Perpignan, then stay on the (roughly) coastal motorway past Gerona, Barcelona, Valencia, etc down to La Manga is our winter route, and should serve just as well in summer. But mile after mile of concrete crash barriers are very boring, do you intend to do it in a couple of days, or take your time over the journey?

I suggest putting your destination in viaMichelin routefinder, look at the suggested driving times, and think about where you might plan to stop. Then we can suggest or recommend campsites to suit. Arriving in Calais at midday or midnight for example, would make a real difference where you might stop on day 1.

Look for smaller campsites, or municipals etc, in France, Owner run sites are much more likely to fit you in, even if they are officially full, if you are only stopping overnight.
