Driving to CDA

We are looking at driving down to CDA later this year.

The obvious route from Calais, is using the French motorways and tolls vis Paris. Can anyone give me an idea on the cost of the tolls etc.

Has anyone got any experience of quick route through France and Spain that uses minimal tolls, eg. via Le Mans ?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

 Try this option. It was given to me by a good friend who drives to and from Condado regularly
