We're nipping to France for 2 nights, 3 days as we want some cheap wine before Brexit. On an early Eurotunnel crossing so will be in Calais from 9.

I have very little knowledge of France apart from Paris and Le Mans so could do with your expertise. Walks along beaches, driving through nice countryside and discovering nice quant towns or visiting historical places of interest (not world war or bayeaux as we have done all that in the past) would be great.

Ideally we would like to avoid Covid hotspot. I didn't know if to go to the Loire valley but have zero clue.

Could do with some help ! Many thanks in advance.

Correct. I am going to Germany in late November / December and as much as I like flemish towns I have been to Bruge, Brussels, Ghent, Spa area etc many many times. Just wanted to give France a go I guess.

Thanks for the updates - just to clarify:

1) I work from home and have no problem quarantining even though it is almost pointless.
2) I like travelling despite what the government and some random gammons think I should do
3) I could buy some Wolfbass or some dreadful wine from outside of the EU but I prefer buying from our largest trading partner / producer of better wines.

Thanks for the suggestions for the few that actually seem to want to answer my query.
