If you've only got one night, are you sure you'll have enough time to get into Paris, or rather have enough time there to make it worth while?

We always like to have a full day somewhere, which effectively means two nights, and even then one day in Paris isn't very long if you want to see anything much at all.

It's a long drive, 529 miles, from Perpignan to Paris (or for that matter, the 449 miles from Orleans to Paris on the way down) and will leave little time, I would have thought, for sight-seeing after such a drive. Viamichelin suggests eight hours and forty-two minutes, and experienced travellers would usually add at least a couple of hours to this for comfort stops. refuelling, and meals. It's easy for first-timers to underestimate the distances involved.

We are travelling with a car and trailer to Sarlat and have booked Novotel Orleans La Source on way down and Premiere Classe Roissy north of Paris on way home.

We have driven to Sarlat in one day but we were absolutely shattered and still had to get tent set up so have learnt a lesson from it.
