We will be travelling back from South West France and plan to make at least one overnight stop before Calais. We could stay somewhere halfway like Alencon/Le Mans. Or we could make it 2 overnight stops - one near Loire and the other.... where??
If you could stop over between Loire - say near Tours/Amboise - to Calais, where would it be? Either a specific hotel/chambre d'hote / Logis or just a good area to be in.
My only experience of northern France is racing to and from the ferry! Have we been missing any gems?
