That time it should be fluid enough & dead easy. From Calais take A26/A1 autoroutes & once you pass under Charles DeGaulle airport look for signs A10 Bordeaux, there are these signs at every stage, the route takes you around middle ring rd & onto A10 for Orleans & downwards.

If you are going to stop for a kip on the way the sensible advice would be to park on autoroute services in front of main building if poss. Avoid the unstaffed/unserviced parking areas.

we've driven via Paris every year and never had an issue. We usually hit Paris mid morning on our way down and early PM on way back up to Calais. maybe luck ?

We are also at Soleil Plage late July / early Aug but driving from Caen for the first time this year

Hi, we'll have to have a wine then. Are you driving direct to soleil plage or stopping half way? How long have you factored for the drive. I've yet to book the return as I'm thinking of the overnight ferry from Caen to Portsmouth and I'm unsure of how long it would take.

Hi. Yes anything with wine is acceptable ;-)

We will drive in one day from port to Sarlat, it's approx 380 miles which is less than we covered last year from port. I think it will take approx 10 hours with a couple of breaks. It's the first year we have booked the overnight ferry so have no experience but with Dover Calais getting more expensive it made more sense to shorten the drive as our car is a little thirsty when towing at speed!
