Hi,
Have booked a ski holiday in ADH for Xmas :D with Vaujany being our base.
Does anyone know how long the driving time in France will be? (Calais to Vaujany)
Cheers Roger

Thanks for that Ian.
We drove to Notre Dame de Bellecombe in 07 and found the driving time to be a fair bit longer than my TomTom reckoned, mainly due to us driving overnight and there being heavy rain and fog too.
I have found the toll roads in France to be very good and fast but was thinking of maybe staying overnight somewhere on the way. Any recommendations?

Roger,
Just check the routeplanner and find an overnight stay somewhere in the middle. A basic accommodation just to sleep. Perhaps something like a F1 Hotel.
No need for luxury just a good bed and a shower. But that's just my opinion.

Hi Roger Mayne,
we have driven down to that region of France (Val D'Isere, Tignes, Courcheval, Peisey Nancroix) several times. Depending on weather, traffic and bladders it is anywhere between 8 and 10 hours for us.
That's for two Nissan Navarras fully loaded doing a pretty constant 85/90mph on the motorways. We always do it in one trip, usually catching the 4 or 5 am Eurotunnel getting to Calais aprox 6 or 7 am, and we arrive in resort mid to late afternoon.
We do have the luxury of having 5 or 6 drivers between the two vehicles, so we change at fuel stops. We take sandwiches so longest stop we have will be a fill up and "empty" stop, with maybe a coffee before back on the road.
It is a long drive for one driver.
