Thanks also for the tips on hotels that is also another problem that needs sorting.
Booking.com is really useful for finding hotels.

Deffo use Autoroutes. They're so much better than motorways over here.
You can average 70+mph, whereas on N roads you'll get up to 55 mph if you're lucky, and slower for every village, bend, lorry etc. And navigation is easier.
Personally, I'd use P&O Dover - Calais, rather than the tunnel.
You're going to be in the car long enough as it is, so why stay in it for the crossing?
I just started using the tunnel this year, admittedly out of season, and find it so much nicer and quicker than the ferry.
Would agree about the autoroutes as being quick (and far less interesting) altho' out of peak times, not the Rouen one! Peages( toll roads) are pretty easy as you can use a UK credit card to pay (get a receipt by pressing the RHS button
