Your route and your timing are fine if you want to avoid the autoroutes but by paying about 50 euros I have done the calais journey in less than five hours. If you allow 6 hours you will do it easily.

I have been so kind, to have gon on google earth and this is what I have found
Hope its ok with Keith I put this up on here

the lake is in the bourgondy region of france
and is around 660km from the port of Calais

I hope its ok I have put the info on here??

That's fine Tommy. (I didn't realise it was that shape. lol.) The road that you approach it down runs through the "i" of "fisheries" on your sign and you would be coming from the top of the page so you turn right down our drive IMMEDIATELY before the forest starts.
The route that I use most is Dover Calais (you can probably avoid that bit Tommy) and then A26 to Reims and although the auto-route number changes you basically stay on the same road going past Troyes and Dijon before turning off at Chalon-sur-Saone "sud." At that point you have about 15 km down the country roads to get here.
If you want to have a "walk round the lake" there is a video on our web site.
Hope that helps.
