St Valery Sur Somme

[Joe narvey]

About 1.5hrs south of calais.
good roads, great town plenty of superb resturants. worth a bimble around the old town.

Resturant recommendation this time ..

A good sized fillet of sea bass, with cassoulet white beans, a fig reduction and small baked figs, rolls of yellow corgette a slice of lime. €22.

And with the bike..

Joe that seems like a nice little town for a one night stay after the Tunnel.

I normally stay at the Ibis in Coquelles but over the last few years it feels like an armed camp so thanks for an alternative.

As above, great little town, loads of places to stay/eat, has a connection with Joan of Arc and has a (seasonal) steam railway with trips around the bay! A good and near area to explore and worth a couple of daysCheersJohn B

Oh ibis not nice. Try montreiul sur mer. 45 min south and lots of places discounted on booking dot com. Happy to give you some personal recommendations for biker friendly with secure car parking and awesome food.

Joe I am always open to suggestions.

This would be for the car trip with my wife. Long story short she doesn't like long sea journeys so it's a ferry to Scotland drive down England and Tunnel that night. When we go by bike we go what ever way suits us as she doesn't like the bike.
