I did a trip up the Loire valley a few years ago.

To much to put in a post EY, but you'll love it, even rush hour over their is like the M62 at Goole at 3am. Just put on the CC at 56mph |

Toll roads (péage) can get expensive. With a 'van you are class 2 which on the automated machines means that you have to select the Transit van. Via Michelin is good for route planning and will tell you how much the toll is.

Ile de re, one of the few places you can have a drink with your lunch while touring, hire a bike and tour the island, there are no major hills.

Oradour-sur-Glane in mid-France is a WW2 village left as it was after an attack by German SS - very moving place to visit if you like historical places relating to previous wars.

We are only booking the first stop for a couple of days near Rouen then leaving it open as to where we go and where we stop. Probably 3 to 4 days at any site to allow us to sightsee surrounding areas but if it looks good then longer.

I am about 100 miles north of Bordeaux and handy for a few of the places mentioned above - great part of the world. If you make it to my neck of the woods I will gladly host a BBQ and you can park the van at my place if you want to go off visiting. John
