Sounds like a good trip.

Did a similar trip a few years back to finish our time in Cham... the difference between heading up with around 3-4 other teams in sight who also left from the Gonella Hut compared to the highway after hitting Gouter was amazing.

We also picked up a passenger too! Heading down the Col du Maudit I had to teach a guy how to abseil on a munter and send him down our rope. He knew he had to wrap the rope around a biner somehow but looked pretty confused though, especially by the whole 2 strands part... His partner had buggered off and left him to fend for himself - he'd rapped down someone else's rope and taken their rope with him. Meanwhile plenty of people were still heading up the route, a rescue chopper was buzzing the col and there was a lone ice axe planted just down the slope on the western side as if someone had take a long trip :(

Chamonix can be a right circus, but the access is great...
