Re: france trip advice and places to go
Could go to the Alsace, but it's twice as far as Reims, and your going to blow your budget just on fuel

Re: france trip advice and places to go
looking at the ferry its going to cost £50 return.
thanks ralph looks a good idea. just need some interesting places to visit/ stay to keep us busy over two days. at the moment being more than 200 miles away from calais seems a bad idea. so staying around this area would be good, with destinations worth going to. |

Re: france trip advice and places to go
Also worth looking on the likes on lastminute.com, see if you can get any late deals for a Paris city break for £300. It may be cheaper to go with a travel company on a coach or Eurostar or whatever than trying to do it yourself. You'll still need to feed yourself, but there's always a Maccy D's, and you may have had that expense if you stayed at home! LOL!

For a weekend on a budget, you ain't gonna get much further anyway. I'd camp tbh, will be around 5-7 euros a night, sometimes less. |

Was going to suggest that, but its a 500 round trip from calais, so 100 quid in petrol on its own.
