  1. If I were you I would stop in Angers or Nantes. Angers is a nice town with all kind of hotels, Nantes is bigger with plenty of accommodation too. They are both on your way if you take the motorway. An Ibis hotel is simple but comfortable with 24h reception.

    Don't hesitate to ask me more if you need to. I am from Angers but now live in England.


  2. Sure... sleep on the boat going over

  3. yes don't go and stop the other English from going. I think the people of France are tired of the British drunks and hooligans going there to buy property.

  4. Angers is about half way between. Or Nantes...but

    May I suggest La Rochelle?

    It's a lovely city, one of the best fishing ports in France.

    A small city filled with beauty, history and wonderful seafood. It's 200 kms. further south, which would leave you only about 300 kms. to do the following morning.

  5. Orléans, Tours, or Poitiers are all nice places, with budget hotels around the outskirts of the cities themselves, or campsites if you prefer.

    Orléans is a bit close to Paris in my opinion, and traffic can be nightmarish, but good if you've had an early start and just want to get to bed early. Poitiers is rather closer to Bergerac, and a good place to stop over if you want a lazy second day. Tours is the midpoint between the two, and can be a nice balance between early and late arrival/departure.

  6. look for an ibis or premier classe hotel there is an ibis in calais from where to pick up a brochure of sites oppisite that is another chain who's name I  cannot remember but they are all across france as well ....the ibis is easy to find turn right [centre de ville] at the port next r/about right traffic lights right first left[do not cross the canal]and it's along there, or pick them up off the web

  7. 15 June would be as good a night as any.
