Loire Valley, Wine caves of Samurr? Sparkling wine tasting. Camping will be cheap this time of year.

Head down the coast to the D-day landing beaches and museums?

What Timmy said with a few nights in Deauville, great restaurants, great casino, good beaches. Seems to be where the parisians go on holiday.

From that I would recommend going to "Eastenders" in Calais and stocking up on as much €1 plonk you can fit in the Z.

Avoid the Mussels in Deauville. I was VERY ill for 2 days. Nice place though, and nice beaches. Buy some apple cider brandy to take home.

Actually there's a massive Aunchan in Boulogne that is better stocked than the one in Calais and not full of English Chavs

Bit harsh to condemn an entire town's mussels on one dodgy one.
A trip to a seaside town in France without moule frites is like refusing to map your 335d. Madness.
Just don't eat the closed ones. They are closed for a reason.

Probably reason enough not to go...
