Good tip on the route around paris, but worth plotting out the A104, N104 as the A4 short section has been remodeled and the A5bis /A6 section can be a bit confusing.
Yes, but you can head West just North of Melun and then come off just east of Milly la Foret (if that's where you're staying) my trouble is I drive by sight and my map dates from about 1990 and Mrs Sloper can barely navigate to the toilet.
