After too long away, this summer I am returning to France with my new husband, and my youngest (now 18!)
He’s never been to France beyond a couple of school trips to Normandy as a kid, so can’t wait to shop him my favourite places.
We’ve booked a gite nearish to Avignon for a fortnight in July, with the plan of introducing him to both Provence and the Ardeche, with trips to Nimes and Aigues-Mortes.
Can’t wait!

Have a great time!
We are off next month. We managed to get through the red tape last Sept and had a couple of weeks, only up and down the Channel coast, but we had really good weather and loved every minute. Hope to get a bit further this time.

We're pretty much the same, we have a rough idea, we'll be sticking to the Atlantic coast but whether that means south-west towards Biarritz or west to Brittany depends entirely upon the weather. We'll be using aires, France Passion sites and the ACSI book.

Any news/experience on issues with P&O at the moment?
We are booked with DFDS on way out
But return is with P&O
I know its affecting ferries going from Dover, not sure about coming from Calais, even though that may sound a silly question

We came back through Calais last weekend and it was incredibly quiet, both at the port and on the ferry.

I think P&O are planning to start again in about a week so you should be OK.
