Specific intention is to visit Mrs B's brother who has a place in Esperaza. Intend to be there or thereabouts for Stage 15 of Tour de France from Limoux to Fois.
As you say it needs a couple of days each way. Pattern in last few trips has been a night at C&MC Club site at Hawkinge and then ferry at around 08:00. LAst time we were down that way southbound stops were Chartres and Brive la Gaillarde.
Might repeat that or try a different strategy where we start from home, cross 11:00 or midday and take first stop somewhere near Challons s Marne and second at 'tbc' most of way there to keep arrival reasonably early.
It's a long drag with or without a caravan but we did similar for years with a tent and (initially) young children so it's pretty well practiced.
