Last year I discovered one of the best ways to spend the Easter weekend. We spent the nights in Brussels, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The idea was not to have a driving holiday per se but have a relaxed drive each day, and then drinks/going out in the evening. We stopped for lunches at Brugge and Antwerp to shorten the journeys and do some sightseeing.

I didn't realise just how big france was so I think going to Italy (my original plan) is out of the question if we want a relaxed drive.

Can anyone recommend a good 4 day route around France? Or even comment on doing Strasbourg - Basel - Zurich (is there much to do on this route?!)

How much are the road tolls - should we budget for these?

Cheers

Thanks for those suggestions. What would you suggest doing in Strasbourg or is it just a good place to chill out?

So the plan is to spend the first night in Nantes (stopping off at Le Havre for lunch). And the second in Reims (stopping off in Orleans for lunch).

Reims I hear is the best place in the region to go out for a few drinks/maybe a club. Otherwise just looking to relax and chill out.

Strasbourg is a bit off the way for a 3 day trip and ideally I'd couple it with Germany & Switzerland.
