Bank Hols in France - tack
Just got back from Easter weekend in France. Motorways empty, towns and villages virtually empty......Pont de Normandy looking fantastic in the mist.
Omaha Beach landings, Pegasus Bridge, Pointe du Hoc, Colville American cemetary, Longues sur Mer gun battery, Ste Maire Eglise....all approachable, easy parking.

Relaxed til reality (i.e. Dover, M20, M25) kicked in on return to blighty.

By the way, Norfolk Line has free wi-fi on board so you can while the time away on the way there and back

Good Friday isn't a Bank Holiday in France, only the Monday, so it's only a short break and most people seem to be like the Brits - stay home, do the garden and eat lamb on Sunday.
You should try Ste Mere Eglise on market day in the summer!

I hope the lamb they are eating is British!

I used to love driving to France, but the M20, M25, M1 has put me off. I now fly to Nimes, Carcassonne or Limoges from Eastmidlands airport and hire a car, much easier.
