Is it comfortable for travel from Calais to the south of France with one stop over? Any suggestions for sites on/near beach in south of France, near enough to shops etc. Bike rides. Any good aires on the way down? Thanks

Is this a holiday or a long distance race?
Have been known to take a couple of weeks to get to the south.
I guess it all depends on how much time you have, but you do need to remember that France is a big place. Look at a map and it appears easy but it is almost 900 miles, depending on where you end up.
Remember a river a day to make it a comfortable and easy drive.
Day 1 to the Seine
Day 2 to the Loire
Day 3 to the Dordogne
Day 4 to the Med.
If you pay tolls it is a fair bit quicker but boring.

We were there last September. We stayed on the site which was a little crowded but we opted for one of the service pitches. Very good bike rides through the waterways. Up close to the flamingos.Which bit of the South of France?
If you mean SE, we've done from Calais to the aire at Dijon (or Seurre, just south), and have been on the Med coast the next day.
In the Camargue there's Santes-Mairies-de-la-Mer with sites and aires near the beach. There's even an aire on the beach just down the road. Worth knowing if there's a planned Gypsy festival at Saintes-Mairies, as the place is a recognised shrine for travelling folk. Bike rides possible along the coast.
