    ile d'oleron

    I hope to spend a night here in early July but I am having terrible trouble in 1) finding hotel/b & b accommodation and 2) information about the towns or villages.  Therefore I am not sure where to base myself, I would like to visit one side of the island on the first day and the other side the second day. 

    Can anybody point me in the direction of where to look for accommodation or recommend anywhere and also if anyone could tell me what areas, etc are good.

    Thanks a lot.

    Buses in St Georges de Didonne

    in West (Bretagne, Pays de la Loire, Poitou-Charente)

    I wonder if somebody could tell me which number bus is best to get from St Georges to Royan about 9.15/30 on a weekday morning.  I want to catch an onward connection to La Rochelle, coming back I will then get the last bus to Royan and walk back to St Georges as I know they don't run too late.

    I'd be sooo grateful if they could also tell me where to catch it Allee des Coquelicots just of Rue de Saujon.

    Thanks.

    I guess what I really meant was how long will .5km take me to walk?[:$]

    I have now booked an Etap in Rouen at Le Petit Quevilly just off the Rapide Sud III, not sure if it was a good move though.  I stopped in Rouen city centre once and it took us ages to find the hotel, lets hope that this is different!

    Anybody stopped at this place before and got any experience re finding it, etc.

    Thanks

    Thank you both for your reply.  I wanted to stop just before Rouen,  I have seen an Etap in Isneauville but am worried that we may have to drive to eat in evening.  It looks by itself although on the Etap site for that hotel it says a restaurant is .50 km away so not sure if that is driving or walking distance.  Has anyone ever stayed there or got experiences of an Etap?

    Thanks.

    I am driving to south west france on a Saturday in June and I arrive in Calais  approx 5.20 local time.  I want somewhere to stop as cheap as possible after Abbeville, but before Rouen by the A28.  I also want to be within walking distance to a restaurant or such for an evening meal.  I then intend to drive the next part of my journey in one so want to obviously take off as much time as possible on the might before.

    short break on north coast

    Thank you for your replies - this is usually a part of the country which I pass through; will look out for the speed cameras though!

    I don't really want to go anywhere further than half an hours drive - it looks as if it may be boulogne as I don't want too spend to much, will have to see if there's anywhere nice there.

    I was going to take break either in Wissant or Wimereux, but all hotels in Wimereux seem expensive. Was thinking of Wissant but not sure if there would be enough to do there for 3 days or should I go somewhere like Boulogne?

    Any suggestions as to hotels or places ?

    People living in the Charente Maritime/Royan area of France what is the cheapest price you can pick up a bike for, or if anyone knows of a place that sells bikes second hand or new that would be even better.

    Thanks

    Travelling from St Georges to Bordeaux

    Originally posted this on the travelling to/from France but didn't get response so feel this board would be more appropriate.

    I am hoping to travel to Bordeaux from St Georges de Didonne in June by train and I assuming the quickest way would be to get to Santes and I could pick up a train from there.  Unfortunately I will be on public transport, probably bus to Royan and then train to Santes.  I am thinking of staying overnight in Bordeaux and coming back the next day.

    Does anyone know a quicker or less complicated route?

     

    Thanks

    This is not a travelling to/from france query but wasn't sure where else to post.  I am hoping to travel to Bordeaux from St George de Didonne by train and I assuming the quickest way would be to get to Santes and I could pick up a train from there.  Unfortunately I will be on public transport, probably bus to Royan and then train to Santes.  I am thinking of staying overnight in Bordeaux and coming back the next day.

    Can anybody give me a good site/link which will enable me to work out the cost of driving from the UK to France taking into account the price of petrol, toll roads and of course time!  I've searched the net but can't seem to see anything.  There used to be a good site but its gone now.  The plane seems cheap until you add in taxes and charges for luggage.

    Thanks for any help.

    travel insurance

    Last time I did a trip to France I used insureandgo.com- not sure if we can post links here or not.  They were very reasonable for two adults and one youth.  Found them the cheapest and they had got an landline number if you needed to contact them.

    Is this the one you're after?
