Two days in France

[Rod]

I am escaping to France for two days only on Aug. 16-17. Dover to Calais early morning. Any ideas on where i should go. Interested in riding not sight seeing, twisty roads preferred, if there are any in northern France.

Just got back from a weekend in the Ardennes. It's well worth it. My advice would be:

Motorways to Namur in Belgium (via Dunkirk, Lille, Tournai, Mons, and Charleroi). No tolls. 3 hrs riding.

South to Dinant for lunch. Nice town on the Meuse, little tourist but loads of eating places and competition keeps the prices reasonable.

Then head south or east for lovely roads on day 1 afternoon and day two morning. Blast back via similar route.

If you don't want to do the initial motorway you can find twisty quiet but very small roads 10 miniutes away from the tunnel
