A1 -> A104 -> N104 -> A6 is the way to go.

A16 -> N104 -> A115 -> A86 - through the crazy letterbox tunnel - A6  is actually the way to go  :tease:

If you compare Calais-Font and Calais-Milly in Google Maps you get quite different routes, which probably means their isn't much between them. Calais-Milly always seems to route round the 'Freak whatever time you tell it.

I just enjoy the madness of the A86 tunnel - there's never any other cars on it, (probably due to the toll) but it gets you about 1/3 of the way round paris in tranquil solitude. Its quite scary going in though as you're convinced your going to take the roof off the car. (its really really low!)

That tunnel is mad, I did it a transporter and couldn't help crouching in my seat. I've done all the routes suggested, my favourite is straight onto the periphique and round, exciting, scenic and direct!

Anyone who doesn't take the peripherique is a gutless bastard. I'm not sober btw.

I dunno what is the exact best route, but my best Font tick was onsighting a good route around Paris with no deviations on my first driving trip to Font, on my own, after the overnight ferry, whilst my mate who had been several times had still ended up circling L'Arc De Triomphe when he went out a few days earlier. I'm taking the 7B flash.
