Dont quite know how we got onto this from "Australian President causes a stir" but avoid Paris like the plague and if you are looking for somewhere to stay halfway, pm me.

Well we did manage two pages on what was essentially a non-story so that wasn't too bad  Smiley

I agree about avoiding Paris, it's horrendous and going through really doesn't save time and I would definitely recommend avoiding toll roads as they are so expensive.

Thanks Pondgirl and Ian,I haven't thought of your route pondgirl I will check this route  I have been in the Viehla tunnel area climbing years ago, is this the N260 road down to Pont de Suert  ?
Ian I will try to sleep in back of van if there is any space left LOL !!!! I am also hoping to bring roofing sheets down with me as  there is quite a difference in price and the wifes over the moon that all the stuff I've been hoarding for years will finally been gone Smiley

N230, I think.  We've done it a couple of times now, there and back, and stayed overnight in Perigueux (having arrived in Calais at 9am ish) we've usually arrived in Tortosa at about 6 or 7 the following evening I think.  It's a lot less miles/km than going via Perpignan, Barcelona etc but probably best if you have a GPS or a reliable co-pilot  Smiley

Thanks again Pondgirl for your help, its going to be a real one off adventure for me this trip(1 month off work) I've made a note of your directions and I'm going to be  looking at it tonight at work Cheesy
My main concern apart from the thoughts of breakdown etc... is my van is slow, very slow !!!!also unfortunately making this trip on my own so no one to scream at either when it all goes terribly wrong LOL Wink
looks like a very early morning start from here in North Yorks and poss 3 day trip ?
