The hotels chains that I have used in France all have secure car parks.(Etap/ Hotel B&B/ Kyriad). There is either a rolling gate or a rising barrier and you get a pin number for it and the pedestrian gate next to it. We always leave our car fully laden with camping equipment and never worry about it. Try www.eurapart.com for all the European hotel chains.

We stopped at a Kyriad near Montargis last summer and left the car fully loaded overnight.  We  kept an eye on it but it was fine and we had no need to worry.

I like the Kyriads, I can highly recommend them. The have a more personal touch than the other chains as they have manned reception round the clock rather than a machine to read your credit card after 7pm. They also have a bar and restaurant and tea and coffee making facilities in the room rather than a vending machine in reception.

The normal room price is a higher than the other chains but they do great online offers when not fully booked which have to be paid for when booking and are non refundable. I usually book an Etap or somewhere that takes your CC number but you have until 24 hours before you need the room to cancel with no charge. I then keep my eye on the Kyriad website until the offers come up and book that and cancel the Etap. The Kyriad on the seafront at Calais is lovely.

This is an ideal hotel for a stopover on your way back from the med,its about 2.5 hours from Calais and has a really nice restaurant too.
