I have driven to the south of France a couple of times
stay off the motorways where it is practical
some of the scenery on the alternate routes is fantastic
But you can't beat French Autoroutes. The only roads I can use the cruise control on properly for long stretches of time. And not a pot hole in sight.
Love the little aires, the big ones can be a nightmare for fuel stops. A7 south of Lyon is busy but never much more so than our M25.
trust me..
some of alternate routes are deserted and cruise control works just fine
