Auto Routes: Weekends (and in particular, Saturdays) can be very busy on the roads leading to the Alps. You can plan to miss the most congested days by consulting the French traffic site Bison Futé which gives masses of useful information on the French roads, inlcuding a long-range forecast of the busy days to avoid.
