The A75 through the Massif Central uses several passes at 1100m. You will see snow on the surrounding peaks, but the road is generally clear. Using it several times each winter I have never had a serious problem with snow. This is a beautiful stretch of autoroute and free from Clermont Ferrand South to the A9. I'd probably press on and stay in Montpellier - reckon 9 - 10 hours drive from Calais. Montpellier is active in winter and is your first taste of Med weather (Med weather if not always hot is generally bright and sunny !). Staying a few days around Montpellier allows easy access to the Languedoc area. The A9 Pyrenees pass is virtually never closed due to snow. The coast road is beautiful but much longer. There are no snow worries from Figueres heading South. Peter.
