Good evening ladies. We are looking for somewhere to stay, preferably a hotel, between Tours and Calais...anyone know of anywhere??? thanks.

We stayed near Saumur last year and stayed overnight at the Novotel Rouen Sud. Family rooms, pool, good kids menu ie vegetables, kids get free breakfast. Was fine and I have booked it for out and back trips to the Charente this year.

Thanks Portofino...we're actually staying at the Novotel in Rouen on the way down! Good to know it's a good one! May just book it for the way back then....thanks!

we stayed in Abbeville a few times on our way down or back from the Loire
hotel Jean de Bruge was brill but that was a few years ago now.

We have stayed a few times at www.lagaucherie.com in the Loire. Great interconnecting rooms, fab food and a lovely pool to cool off after a long car journey. The owner's speak excellent English. Felt like part of our holiday rather than just an overnight stop over.
