hi to all traveling to le pin parasol end of July over night from calais,with caravan in tow, happy to use toll roads,any recommendations on routes would be very helpful.
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
This is the route we take from the tunnel at Calais (we tow a trailer tent):
A16 to Abbeville
Join A28 toward Rouen, just over the river in Rouen we turn left onto D18E/E46/E402, this goes through an industrial area and keeps you away from the City centre.
Join the A13 toward Caen
turn left back onto the A28 toward Le Mans
Join A11 at Le Mans going towards Angers
Join A87 at Angers toward Cholet / Le Roche-sur-Yon
then take the local roads to LPP.
I get this journey from Ggogle maps BTW.
This route took us approx 10 hours last year, though we had several stop for fuel, loos and lunch. On the way home the traffic was lighter and it took us 9 hours
There is a nasty Peage just before Angers, last year the traffic there was a nightmare.
Oh, top tip......use a sat nav!
We will be a LPP from 30th July for a fortnight.
Hope this helps.

Yup, we had a pretty good journey apart from the blooming Paege's and delays at the tunnel, but we got home at around 10.30 with 4 very tired passengers.
How was your journey back?
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, we had a lovely time and didn't want to come home. I was particularly grumpy on Sunday night of having to go back to work the next day.
Cheers
