Try your route in 'viamichelin' or via the AA. You don't say where your journey starts or when you will be travelling (because both influence your route) but in general I would advise you avoid Paris and its outskirts at all costs! Motorway tolls do not figure in your calculations ... they may also influence your choice of route! Drive safely ... and on the right!!

any clues

We did the Calais - Tours route last year. I checked the Route and went via Paris - driving was fine though very boring roads. On our return we hit Paris late afternoon on a Friday and got stuck in traffic for about 2 hours.

If you are travelling around rush hour time I would say avoid Paris, and if you want some scenery whilst you drive maybe it is better to go a different route, take a little longer and have a more enjoyable drive. Thats what we would do next time!

http://www.viamichelin.com as the other poster said is the best route finder fro France that I have seen.[/url]

used the mitchell maps & aa ok till to get to the last points and then you really need to make sure you printout the local map with the little d roads

as all the routemasters can be wrong ie turn left when says no entry that was great fun in paris !!! so only use them as a rough guide and buy a decent detailed map as soon as your in france ie cheaper and better

last time me use just the web map !!!!

Drive right through the middle of Paris!

It'll take you hours and hours but it will cement (or ruin) your marriage for ever and ever!
