calais to costa brava advice please

ray mc

Hi all, i.ve just traded my eriba caravan in which I previously did a little tour of Northern and north west france, aided by valuable advice from members of this forum. I now own a motor home, and want to venture to costa brava this October. can anyone advise me of the best route to take frm Calais to the costa brava, should I avoid paris?  and can I avoid tolls or is it better to use the toll roads, also any advice on over night stays or places to rest up during the journey..Any  advice will be gratefully received
