One thing I would say, having done the trip SSOOOOO many times over the years, and ultimately preferring San Sebastian - Burgos - Palencia - Benavente - Galicia, in other words, opting for good fast roads as opposed to wonderful scenary, coastal roads, is that after around 700 miles already covered going through France, 4-500 more lovely scenary or not are suddenly not as appealing (especially with kids in the back of the car!!) Of course, this alters significantly if you do the touristy thing and you can take time to stop and smell the coffee! Perhaps a stop at Le Mans or say, Orleans, if you're not going on the motorway. Then, Bordeaux, and then lastly, Biarritz, before heading to the border. Sounds crazy, but all part of the opportunity if you have the time and you like that sort of thing - and you will arrive at Irun nice and relaxed, as opposed to arriving (you and the car) steaming and stressed!!

Well, we were hoping to take it easy (no more than 3-4 hrs a day driving) but it all depends on how our 1 year old copes with the heat. Its by no means as hot over here in UK at the moment (30c) but she is already feeling aggravated at home.

It's a great trip whichever route you take (avoid Paris though!) and you'll enjoy your adventure!

What is ADAC if you can excuse my ignorance?!! How much does it cost approx for you?
Looks like the northern coast could be the winner then eh??!!
