We are travelling to Mandelieu, by car, early June..Can anyone tell me should we book hotel en route or will it be fairly easy to find somewhere when we decide we have had enough driving? Any suggestions for towns/villages to stop in would be useful too. Travelled to Dordogne couple of years ago and spent ages looking for hotel we had booked just outside Poitiers, after passing lots of places we could have tried to get a room! Many thanks.
In june there will probably be no problem finding a hotel on your road but I prefer B & B and I always take with me the guide ""Gîtes de France" with addresses and phone numbers.

More or less 1200km from Calais to Mandelieu. Motorway all the way: around 10 hours driving.

Depends at what time you're living Calais, but a nice stop is at the Burgundy city of Beaune, more or less half the way.
Several hotels mentioned on the site above. As far as I remember, the "hotel de la Poste" at Beaune is correct and well situated.
Beautiful city for a short visit.
Try the Burgundy wines!!!
Have a nice trip

You've already been given excellent advice. My only caveat would be to check for any holidays, and consider reserving for Friday and Saturday nights, that's when I've had problems. Have fun!
When at any restaurant or bar in Dijon, order a Kir. This drink is a regional specialty named after a former mayor of the city. Made from a black current liquor (Crème de Cassis) et white wine, it is an ideal before dinner drink. If you are feeling fancy, you can also order a Kir Royal, which replaces the white wine with champaign.
The author of Tour d'Eiffel was born in Dijon. Dijon is famous by the mustard which was begun to make in Ancient Egypt and China, but it have been brought to its manufacture of perfection in Dijon.
A variety of its grades amazes: mustard with a raspberry, a black currant, cognac, liquor - with what only it do not to make! There is even the Mustard Museum.
Place Darcy is an elegant square, open-spaced area in the centre of Dijon. Most of the main streets converge here, and it is full of cafes and restaurants. There is a small arc at one end of the square - probaly called Arc de Triomphe as in other French towns.
