Hi, we are going to the South of France at the end of July and want to drive for about 5 hrs once we have landed in Calais.  Does anyone have any ideas for hotel stopover at a convenient point approx 5 hrs into France? Many thanks

Dijon at about 350 miles is half way. Lots of hotels on the ringroad and not far off the autoroute. probably about 6 hours without stops though.

Sorry Huw - got carried away in my response to Harry B!!  We just want to drive - stop & get to St Aygulf as quickly as possible.  We have arranged a longer stopover on the return journey as we wanted to incorporate it with a visit to Disneyland.  There are 4 of us - me, hubby & 2 children aged 10 & 13.

Thank you Geoff - I'll have a look at Ibis.

I have booked a Hotel B&B in Dijon for 1 night - family room for 4 - only costs 75euros including breakfast - brilliant value.  By travelling that bit further it should cut down on the drive to the coast - giving us more time to put the tent up!!! Never done this before so it will be real adventure.

Thanks for your advice.
