Calais- then what?

[Flying Penguin]

Planning a short (4 full days in France) driving holiday end March. Don't want to spend whole day in the car this time or long hours on motorways just to get from A to B (been there, done that).

Just after a bit of relaxed driving, preferably staying in small village hotels & nice restaurants, so not looking for a colossal- miles- trip (that will be Portugal end May).

Anyone on here who could recommend where to go to and what to do/see once off Le Shuttle in Calais? Some particularly nice driving roads within reasonable distance? Any good restaurants (Michelin?)/ hotels worth a visit along the way? Did Normandy & Alsace last year and Calais- Chamonix- Nice- Milano- Perpignan- San Sebastian- Santander in 2011.

Really just something nice & easy. So, once in Calais, what should I feed the SatNav with?

Stayed in that De La Post a few times and can also recommend it. They have some cracking suites and a private garage at the rear. Lovely place.

The (lovely) garage has something to do with Maserati Club of France - I cannot remember what but I remember seeing some photographs.
