Toll cost to the South of France

Does anyone knw approx. the cost of travelling to the very south of France (Perpignan) from Boulogne using the major roads and so incurring costs at the tolls?
Trying to decide if taking own car is more cost effective than 'flying and hiring'

    Try https://www.mappy.com as it will tell you toll fees. If you enter your cars consumption, it will also calculate total cost of the journey.

    Don't forget to factor in the much easier journey without the hassle of having to check in and endure the mindless mentality of UK airport "security".

    I'm going to the South of France in the summer, and I'm driving. I'm using Tesco clubcard deals vouchers to go through the Eurotunnel making it essentially free. However I'm going to the Cote D'Azure and even if I was paying for the Eurotunnel part, (about £150) the petrol/halfway hotel/tolls/breakdown cover journey was miles cheaper than the flying/airport parking/car hire journey by about 400 quid! Tolls to Perpignan seem to be about 65 Euros each way. Tolls to St Tropez are 80 Euros each way.
