Richard Binns, the knowledgeable francophile and author of numerous guide books to France (French Leave, Hidden France, Bon Voyage) has a small booklet on a new route to the South of France using the Viaduc de Millau - called "Sun Run Supreme". The 665-mile SRS from Calais provides two alternatives: a fast run south (over 80% on autoroutes and dual-carriageways); or a lazy amble. You can select from three cost options: ‘toll-free’; ‘almost free’; or ‘frugal’ (about £15). The arrow-like run is the most direct route to the Med. The final 170 miles, often over 3,600ft-high, is an exhilarating A75 motorway mountain run. For more details see www.frenchduck.co.uk/travel/autoroutes.htm
