 | The
V8 Tour was based at Montreuil, an attractive small hilltop town just 60km
south of Calais. The town is surrounded by ramparts and possessing pleasant squares
and plenty of brasseries and restaurants. The drive from the ports is straightforward
using either the autoroute or the more | scenic
coastal road.
The tour hotel was the Hotel Hermitage, a historic former
convent and hospital, which has been restored in the last decade and converted
into a comfortable hotel. The group enjoyed good weather, good food and visited
some interesting places. See the illustrated report. More |
