Hi every oneWe did this route a few years ago and also stayed overnight at Chateau de Chanteloup. Its a very nice site and to be honest I wish we had stayed a few nights there to enjoy the area a bit more.
The mistake we made was driving to Dover direct (abt 4 hours) and then straight off the ferry and on to Chanteloup which made it feel a realy long slog. We should have driven to Dover the previous day and stayed overnight there. It didnt seem half as bad on the way back though doing the trip back to Calais after a good nights sleep.
It was baking hot on the way down too which didnt help.
If you have a couple of drivers and no kids constantly saying "are we there yet", with a bit of planning I would say you could get from calais to St John de Monts in a day ok.
Good luck, Martin.
HiWe did it last year with caravan in tow. We stopped over night near Le Mons, at Chateau De Chanteloup. This was a fairly long drive back to Calais for the return ferry. Ok on the way down. We used the new A16 motorway, even though it was a toll road. Nice road, very little traffic.
I would not do the drive all in one day, especialy if ou have children.
