Just remember that the traffic coming down the slip roads has the right of way, so stay in the middle lane until you get close to your exit, and just keep on keeping on. I used to do it twice every week with a RH drive artic, and I'm still alive to tell the tale.

"Having said all of that, provided you have planned your route carefully, have a good co-driver paying close attention to on coming traffic and to road signs, and take your time, you should have no real problems. And just think of the buzz you will get when you successfully emerge on the other side, still in one piece and with your fears erased. It would then be one of the high points of your holiday, especially if you venture off the Periphique at Porte de Passy or Porte de Maillott and head in to park near the Eifell Tower"
Hi 777
The first time you drive the Perphique it's dangerous , after that it's just exciting
Don
Totally agree, although I would head for the Champs Elysees from Porte de Maillott. The first major roundabout you come to will put the Periphique into context.
Peejay is spot on, his route will take you to the A10 but if you do it at night look out for road closures these are frequent and there are diversion signs but they can be hard to follow,they can also just dissapear, when you turn onto the A3 follow Peejays route all the way and overhead road signs say Bourdeaux,it takes me about 30 mins from Charles de Gaul to the A10 at night,no need to take the Terrorpherique,just keep following Bourdeaux signs.Gerry.
but if you leave the motorway near Charles de Gaulle airport and join the N104, you can miss the B.P. all together. Longer, but possibly easier for you.
I've spent quite a bit of time on this road mainly because I keep missing the turn offs. It is like the M25 except no one seems concerned about lanes and a 2 inch gap is considered ample for a French lorry driver to jump into.
Loury. The periphique hasn't gained its reputation for nothing, Don't underestimate it.
We spent all night on it after a major crash involving fatalities, unfortunately we didn't have a motorhome then so couldn't make a cup of tea.
Which ever route you take have a good trip.
Cheers Sid
Personally I prefer the route through Rouen and on to Dreux., Chartres to Orleans
As we catch an early ferry (6am) to Calais this gives us an option of a good aire, Brezolles, S of Dreux at about 200 miles as our first stopover.
If I feel ok it's easy to change my mind and do another 100 miles to another good aire at Mery sur Cher near Vierzon.
The last thing I want to do is face the periphique when I'm thinking maybe I should stop for a sleep.
