It is a long drive to the South of France, but somehow the worst is getting to the channel ports! From there you can go South East and drive down via Reims, Lyon and Montpellier. OR go via Paris and head for Clermont Ferrand and the Millau bridge ( the prettiest route ) or via Toulouse. There is not a lot of difference in time between these routes but you must consider going via Paris can make a big difference time wise if you arrive in Paris at the wrong time. You may want to consider going via Rouen/ Chatres to avoid Paris. My most usual route is either Rouen and overnight in Orleans or Reims / Lyon and overnight in Langres. You could of course spend a day or two enroute at numerous delightful parts of France. If you take the Toulouse route why not stop at the Appletons Farmhouse B&B east of Poitiers, it is somewhat quirky but an experience!
A marvellous B&B exists just North of Montpellier close to the Pic Saint Loup. You may want to spend a couple of days here on your way home if you love walking. Le Clos des Olivettes.com . Or if you need some luxury then try this marvellous French country hotel north of Beziers. Chateau la Roque Margaux The rooms and food are truly wonderful.
Car Hire:
If you are arriving by commercial airlines or train the the major companies ( Avis, Hertz, Europcar) all omnipresent.
