Les, When we last did that trip we aimed to avoid Black Horse Farm and get over to France in time for dinner in a restaurant in Calais or Boulogne on the first evening. From there you can certainly get to Annecy in two days if you wish, but are you in a tearing hurry?

We have spent whole days in Reims, Chatillon sur Seine, Troyes, Dijon and Beaune and would happily go back to any or all of of those towns if we were travelling that way again. And just looking at the map I think I might aim for a couple of days in Paris on the way back, but you may be more rushed than we were.

I hope it all goes well.

You have around 170 miles to get to Dover in first place and then around 500/550 miles to get to Lake Annecy area, so really it depends on how many miles you wish to drive in a day

If you only have say two weeks I would look at doing with one overnighter but I am happy doing around 300 miles or so a day if using autoroutes

If you have longer then as above why rush, take in a stay around Reims maybe as lots to see in area, or even go down largely toll free route via Belgium / Lux /Alsace area of France

If it were me I would probably look at driving down to Dover area for overnight stop near there and get early ferry/train and then get down to around north of Dijon area for an overnighter and then into Annecy area next day

We travelled from North Wales to the outlaws in Bedfordshire on the Friday evening, got a 09:30ish train on the Saturday & overnighted at the Troyes municipal campsite.

On the return we stopped over at the Cambria site.

The Troyes site is quite large & I'm guessing it would be open in May, but it may be worth checking the Cambrai site opening times.

Wasn't to bad with traveling on the AutoRoute's.
As said the traffic through Annecy was busy.
