Another vote for the Route des Grandes Alpes, I did it last year; it is stunning and ideal for a Caterham. The only problem was that I did it during the transhumance, which is when they bring the cows down from the alpine meadows for the winter. There were slight hold ups as they wandered along the roads, but the worst was that the roads where they had passed were covered in cow dung. I'll remember the gentle plop, plop of the sound of cow dung hitting the rear wings and it took a while to jet wash off the 2cm or so thickness of the stuff. Although aimed at cyclists, I found this website good https://en.routedesgrandesalpes.com/cycle-route.
Others may disagree, but for a Caterham, I thought that the Route Napoleon was not really worth it.

I'm running the "new" Yokohoma AO52s in 185/55/R14 on my 275 SV. They were recommended by my local French Caterham dealer (SV Automobiles), for mainly road and some track. I can't compare them to anything other the original Avon ZV1's they replaced and are definitely a distinct improvement, seem to have reasonable properties in the rain, but haven't really pushed them when its been raining a lot.

Consider a spare bulb set for France. Not that it's obligatory to carry it, but it's a €68 fine if you are caught driving with non-functioning lights. Pretty pointless for a lot of tintops as the bulbs aren't user changeable and I've lost track of the number of cars here in Ile de France with at least one non-functioning brake light.
