Heading to an area just north of Pau that we have been to before. Easy drive but I like to vary the places we stop and for a change this year my pin has dropped in Poitiers on the way down and Orleans on the way back.

Hotels in the middle of town on each Saturday night but I wondered if they are nice places to have a stroll around and relax for a while.

Thanks Phil and that is sufficient commendation for me.

Actually the hotels I have booked are really good value. €77 for the one in the middle of Orleans.

Were you heading back to Calais? If so, which route did you take?

It will be on the Sunday.

I was thinking either mooch about Orleans for the morning and then blat up the Autoroutes or head straight north up the A10 for a bit then head off cross country to the west of Paris and keep heading north until we get to the seaside.

Not driven around Paris for many a year as I usually go a long way to avoid it but what the heck. What could possibly go wrong!
