Hi all;

Monday evening we catch the Eurostar to France then a leisurely trot down to southern Spain. The thing is this is the first time we have headed off so early in the year so I know that most camp sites won't be open. Has anyone done this route and if so any advice, we intend using Aires but it would be nice to find a camp site or two on the way down. We'll be away for 6 months so were not in any great rush and will probably take 7 or 8 days.

Hello there,

I thought you had gone!.

Yes I know the route, have done it a few time and it is well disputed on here. I will see if I can dig the post out.

Good Luck,
Trev.

Hello again Wobby,

I cannot find the post either via MHF forum search or google direct.

My favorite if you have the time is without doubt the western route. In other words, get round Paris via Rouen either on the Autoroutes (Peage) or the RN roads. Eventual join up with the toll free A75, over Millau. You can then either go to the southern French & Spanish Toll roads or better still if you have the time as you suggest, through the Pyrenees.

I can do that route in a couple of days, you have up-to 10!.

If you want a fast low toll route, Via Western France towards Bordeaux/Biaritz, onto Basque country and down through Spain Via Madrid.

As I said, if I had the time, no Question about it the former, taking the Pyrenees option. Look out for snow though!.

Good luck, happy and safe travels,
Trev.

Thanks Frank, will try and keep everyone posted on our travel when ever I can get on line.

Thanks Trev, I think I just might take the Millau A75 route been that way once before and love it. Would love to cross the valley with the sun above and cloud below!
