Well worth the trip , was there a few years ago.
Awesome sight at the tallest pillar looking up.
Head down into Milau and take the road west north of the river and you will pass the tallest pillar on your right.

Provisionally looking at around 1100 miles from Calais , that's down to Millau. And back plus whatever it is from where folk live to the tunnel, as for cost the tunnel is £59 return at present on the dates listed , will be doing hotels or b&b but not expensive , route will be sorted soon but prefer to use non toll roads whenever pos , no more info at the moment
