My wife and I are leaving for Carcassonne (Dover – Dunkerque, early morning sailing) on the August Bank Holiday weekend and want to take an easy couple of days and nights to drive to just south of Carcassonne.
We are in an estate car with a family-sized tent and would like to pick your brains regarding sensible routes and quiet, pleasant places to stay for a night on the way down.
We thought we would go via Rouen, Orleans and Chateauroux as it avoids Paris and would be very grateful for recommendations for a good driving route but, most particularly for good places to stay.
Our time scale will give us a target of 300 miles or so for each leg, leaving us with a relatively short final section.
We particularly like the atmosphere of small, medieval towns and are not at all fussed about swimming pools, tennis courts or similar for the journey down. Camping Municipals would be fine…
Very grateful in advance for all of your thoughts.
Regards
Mr. & Mrs. Ecowoody
