The route perifique round Paris isn't that bad to navigate. Just be patient as there can be plenty of traffic.
Just think of it as the North Circular only around Paris and not London!

Going through Paris has never bothered me. In the past the children used to look out for landmarks and it makes a change from using other routes. But each to their own and you'll likely have plenty of opportunity to try a different route on the way back or in a different year.

Going A1- A10 is very well sign posted and no worse than M25. This is the outer periphique.
It gets more manic on the inner roads of Paris, but you will have avoided them.
Un morceau de gateau as we say in Essex.

No lorries on Sundays.
Il est un jeu d'enfant as they say in Essex - apparently!
Just be prepared for Monday when the lorries return to the roads.

A16 & A28, then A10. Stop over at Beaumont-sur-Sarthe municipal; it's just off the autoroute and a good distance from the port, but not too much!
Nice easy route, keeps you well away from Paris!
Can go through Rouen or to the west of it, but it's quite simple to negotiate.
If it's your first time with the van abroad, that's a nice straightforward run.

Agree, but have a look at N10 as it runs parallel to A10

It depends on your timings really - i.e. how quickly you want to get to your destination. If you do an overnight stop and then use the N10 rather than the A10 as Stuart suggests, it may be cheaper, but it certainly won't be as fast. it will be Monday by then and all the lorries will be on the N road again.

Another vote for A16, A28 and A10 there are plenty of sites for stopovers Municipal site at Bernay just south of Rouen is one we use.
