Hi Dobboanddobbo
We've done Dordogne to Zeebrugge quite a few times.
Paris isn't as dreadful as you might think and if you could brave it, you could have an overnighter somewhere like 4vents just outside Paris. That would also give you an option to jump on a local train and have a day in Paris if your schedule allows.
Or you could stay south of Orleans at Nouan-le-Fuzelier but again, the route from there to Zeebrugge is via Paris really.
Otherwise, we have also stayed at the municipal in Soissons - it is a long drag from the Dordogne though especially if you want to avoid Paris and go via Troyes.
This year we are heading East from the Dordgone and staying a couple of nights in Macon before heading North for an overnighter at Val-de-Vesle.

If you know the way back to the tunnel at Calais do that and then drive another 75 miles up the coast to Zeebrugge.

For the past two years I have driven to Rouen and stayed the night at a Campanile at Barentin. Then A28 towards Zeebrugge. The worst bit is getting off the A10 and joining the N154 to Chartres and then to Rouen.

If you are going back via Rouen, I can recommend the campsite at Beaumonth-Sur-Sarthe as a good overnight stop. We've used it on the way to the Dordogne when doing the short crossing on the way out. Convenient for the motorway, large emplacements, quite cheap.

Why not enjoy an overnight stop near Zeebrugge and have a look around Bruges before the ferry?
I would recommend this site: Camping t' Minnepark
The owner worked tirelessly to make sure that everywhere was immaculate and the toilet block was the cleanest we have ever seen. It is in Bredene just up from Ostend. You might need to check ahead and book a pitch in high season. We were be able to vacate the pitch later in the day and then drive straight to the ferry, which is a short distance away.

Think you'd be adding a good hour to your journey going Tours / Le Mans / Rouen as opposed to Orleans / Chartres / Evreux / Dreux / Rouen.
