Driving from Rotterdam to France

The only advice I can offer is the part of your journey in France from Rouen southwards. We have towed this run for many years and have resorted to a mix of toll/non-toll roads due to high toll costs. From Rouen southbound aim for Dreux, then Chartres, etc and save yourself some Euros. If speed is your aim then forget what I'm suggesting.

If heading to the Med from Rotterdam, why curve so far west? Surely Brussels, Reims, Troyes, Nevers, Clermont-Ferrand would be a more logical trajectory.

I suppose it depends on wether you read south of France to mean the Mediterranean coast.

Yes, destination needed.

We normally go to the Roussillon area often stopping in Millau for a few days and usually use A75.

We've towed both ways mentioned from Rotterdam. 

If time is not a factor I would choose going down through Belgium to Luxembourg then Chalons and down that way for a change. Good route lots to stop and see on the way.

If time is limited then possibly straight down the way you normally go. 

The roads out of europort are good and well signed, never had a problem heading south from there. 

Just be advised if you go Rheims, Lyon etc the toll cost is over £100 each way

Is OP using P&O or Stena and are they travelling overnight to Rotterdam?

P&O will be o'night from Hull and arrives at Europort with easy access southwards but Stena arrives further north at Rotterdam and whilst the exit roads have been improved  if arriving on day ferry from Harwich would deposit OP in rush hour traffic.

If it was me I'd take the P&O ferry.
