Toulouse to Eurotunnel stopover suggestions
Discussion
Bordeaux or La Rochelle, depending on your appetite for driving on each day. Bordeaux for obvious reasons; the seafood in La Rochelle is, however, amazing. I ate the best grilled langoustine I've ever had in a jazz bar there. Admittedly it was 25 years ago, so I doubt the bar recommendation itself would be worth much...
Big thanks for me also to Claret M.
I too was keen to find somewhere to stopover between Andorra and Calais and googled 'stopover between Toulouse and Calais' and was brought to this thread. It's easy to spend a fair bit on somewhere completely forgettable like a Mercure in Chateauroux/Limoges and Joyet de Maube was perfection!
We also ate in the restaurant and it was spectacular - there is a set menu of 39 or 49 Euros.
I'm not sure it's a "gentle waft" to Calais as it's approx 7-8 hours but it was worth it.
The problem with this route to Calais is there isn't much en route that's particularly worth visiting north of here (apart from Paris) so the hotels are generally quite poor.
It will appear in my Pyrenees road trip video that drops soon.
