We'll drive from Dunkirk to Lyon (because husband has a meeting there) then onto the Sabina (Lazio). Any thoughts on the Lyon/Rome bit? Driving next week. Our ferry arrives at 9.30/10 in Dunkirk and I'd love to find a small town for lunch. Normally we do the wonderful Newcastle/Amsterdam/Germany route stopping at a great hotel in Innsbruck (Hotel Kappeller) with secure parking and fab' breakfast but it's France this time.
When we started driving from Dunkirk we enquired on here & got some really useful tips. Our prefered stop these days is the Etap in Frieburg, but that's just 'cos we like Frieburg. Nearby Colmar is also nice with the stunning unterlinden museum. In bocco al lupo!
