michele Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Once you have done Le Touquet where else is there to go not to far just around that area for 4 days. Can anyone suggest something to see (Not alot ) easily pleased just a few shops a beach a walk anything to keep the little one amused . We do not want to go very far otherwise we spend the week driving. Any help have any of you been to the surrounding villages and seen something we might not of seen. Would be really interested in any with Municple campsites . cheers All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixters other half Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Michele i dont know if you have been to Crotoy, its on the Bai du Somme and there is a small steam train that runs round to St Vallery sur Somme. Its very nice there but I'm not sure when the season ends for the train. There are several campsites and also Aires, and if I recall correctly a childrens theme park not far away. Try and search the 'net for opening times Rgds VoH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are interested in modern history Michele try visiting the Bunker at Eperlecques built for fuelling V 1 and V 2 rocets.Not very far out of Calais. An amazing construction. Mick H.

Vixters other half Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yes I was going to mention the Block haus, it is an amazing and sobering construction and very well preserved and notated. But thinking of your little ones I thought Le Crotoy more suitable. 'Course you could go to Paris for "THE MATCH" - should be excitement and for some disappointment and for others delight, but cant be more specific at this moment!!

MandyAndy Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 hi Michele, We are going to your favourite spot Honfleur in half term, after calling at Le Croytoy. We stayed there for 2 nights on a small site just as you go into the town , mainly statics but a few touring places. Lovely walk along the front excellent for cycles and next to a nature reserve. We are taking our bikes this time, just fitted a bike rack so we can all take them this time. There are 2 Aires I believe ,the one we saw holds around 50 and the other around 10 I think. While we were there they had a huge car boot come street market on the Sunday, must have been 200 stalls lining the streets, amazing things from ducks for sale to donkey rides . Was thinking of doing Mont St Michael but you have wetted my appetite for Bruge with your pictures so may go up there instead, we usually pop into Belgium anyway on our way home for the chocs and ciggys for people.

kelly58 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Honfluer is a really nice place to visit really medieval ther is a large aire near the Lidl supermarket 7 euro's for 24 hrs with hook up but you need to park up reasonably early it gets busy especially at weekends and only a few minutes walk from town along the docks the Saturday street market is a must to see as are the fish resaurants around the inner marina. On the return to Calais you can stop off at Le Portel just outside Bologne the aire is just below to dunes above the beach great for good walking and good views with some old WW2 bunkers on coast.
