Try Poole to Cherbourg, then a nice meander down the West coast of France.

Brittany is well worth the visit - even if its just to drive through.

Turn left at the Pyrenees and choose one of the smaller Col's to go over into Spain.

Hi, I am doing this trip, Leaving Calais Sunday morning.
The reasons is the cash difference, as mentioned, in the other topic Ferry v long drive.
I have to go via Laval to visit people before heading south, but your best route would be.
Calais –Abbeville-Rouen-orleans-Limoges-Cahors ( Best Saturday farmers market in France) –Foix Spain. Both Cahors & Foix have free Aires & are well worth a visit. For much of this route you run parallel to the toll road, but you have more interesting scenery.

Bon Journey Dezi
