2 days en France

[Bibs]

If you had a couple of days in an Esprit in France, landing at Calais tomorrow morning, where would you go?

[Kimbers]

Fecamp, round the coast from Calais. Great Marina means lots of money, which means a thriving restaurant culture. I had some of the best food there I've ever had anywhere!

[redshift]

My place for a hoon and BBQ.

Its only a 10 hour drive

[gghc87]

Honfleur

or

Deauville / Trouville (next to each other only divided by a river)

if you don't want to go to far then

Le Touquet

Have fun

[Laura]

[ChrisH]

Auchonvillers near Albert and Bapaume, peace and quiet is supeb, no speed cameras, no traffic cops, people are so laid back they are horizontal, its like stepping into another time zone

[Tentenths]

Montreuil-sur-mer.

Bit of a hike but well worth it - beautiful, historic town with some cracking restaurants. Go cross country and you'll have a great drive too

[Bibs]

Montreuil-sur-mer.

My school took us there every year when I was a nipper, had a great time out there

Thanks for the suggestions guys, please keep 'em coming

Champaign Region

[bigsi]

My place for a hoon and BBQ.

[Bibs]

Easy tiger, I'm going tomorrow morning, it's Laura's b'day pressie

[bigsi]

oh.. humphhhh.. well bring me back.. erm.. something that doesnt smell then.

[mangel]

How do I get this thing in reverse!!!!!!

[Tentenths]

If you've not done it before Boulogne 'old town' is worth a look. Some good restaurants up near the cathedral.

[ChrisH]

If you head towards Abbeyville then head inland towards Arras, very 'Olde Worlde' some superb restaurants mainly French cuisine, well the ones we went to were, also remember the Peages you pay for the distance you have travelled also Petrol is cheaper if you fill up off of the Euro-routes. No matter were you go I am sure you will enjoy yourselves. I must admit we became quite partial to Kia as an aperitif

[Backmarker]

I'm with Toby...................catch the next boat back

Graham.

[rens914]

Le treport

it's at the coast. so not to far away

it has an harbour that fall's dry every 6-8 hours

marvellous fish restaurants and on top of the hill there's a very nice hostel.

only 6 rooms and every room different

you'll love it

I must admit we became quite partial to Kia as an aperitif

white wine and creme de cassis = Kir

champagne and creme de cassis = Kir Royal

[peteyg]

Sorry I'm late, did I miss anything?

No internet access yesterday - typical!

I'd have said Champagne too - lots to see indoors at this time of year and only a couple of hours from the port (in an Esprit :yes )

[Bibs]

We stopped in Montrieul for lunch and a walk around la citadelle and have kinda arrived in La Treport which seems like a lovely little town. Just in a restaurant on the waterfront now before finding a nice hotel to stay in.

I must say the French roads are ace. Empty, fast, fun!

[Kimbers]

So you haven't been arrested for the exhaust yet?
