OK, three words: don't do it. At first, it doesn't sound that bad. But from Arles to Paris is 7 or 8 hours of driving, at insane highway speed, on toll roads that they should be ashamed of charging for in some places. Through many construction zones, the lane widths have been reduced (so trucks take up more than one lane in width), and for a couple of long stretches, only one lane of traffic was open northbound and southbound, separated only by plastic cones. Throw in some rain, and voila -- a very long day.

We left Arles at 6 AM to get into Paris before rush hour, but that put us driving through Lyon at the morning rush hour. So we got a much longer look at Lyon than we imagined.

Some interesting structures were visible along the way.
