It's a few years since I've done it, but it used to be our prefered route when we lived in Belgium. Very straight forward fastish roads all the way through. Also cheapest fuel in Europe.

It's part of the Schengen Area so no border checks.

depending on where exactly you are going, it's probably a good bit longer than just staying in France

no border stops anyway, and fuel is cheap

you'd probably go Calais > Charleroi > Lux

Austria, you could go into Germany, Saarbrücken > Stuttgart etc

Switz, you'd still be better in France I reckon

Luxembourg is fine. I drive through there about 15 times a year. Only lorries get checked at the border and then only if the customs are there which is rare.

You can either go via Brussels or via Lille Charleroi. I usually go via Charleroi. Either way the last stretch from Namur onwards is the same.

Fuel is cheap and there are services on the motorway both North and South of Luxembourg city.

There will be no traffic problems at 2pm.

From Luxembourg you will drop Souh via Thionville to join the A4 motorway near Metz and head for Strasbourg. If you're heading for Basle cut off at Jcn 46? for Saverne and through Molsheim to rejoin the A35/E25 towards Basle. Traffic in Basle can be a pig so I'd leave the A35 North of the Airport and head past the Peugeot factory and over the Rhine onto the A5/E25 German motorway between Karlsruhe and Basle. Before Basle take the E54 towards and past Lorrach and you'll enter Switzerland at Rheinfelden where you'll pick up the motorway towards Zurich and eastern Switzerland.

Fuel is cheap but for that reason, there are precious few petrol stations on the roads leading into the country which can give you stress if you haven't anticpated this and are running on fumes. If/when you finally make it to one of the mahoosive Lux petrol stations (Aire de Bercham - biggest in the World?) everyone else has the same idea and you might have to queue...
