Get the ferry up to northern France!

And the last hotel/b&b has responded...

Hello Steve,

Thank you for your interest at home, Fai is a friend.

Yes, I can receive your friends and propose you 5 rooms in my guest house, and 4 rooms in a cottage, and 2 rooms in a second cottage.
So can you say me if you need rooms for One , 2 or 3 persons?

And I can park your collection cars in my closed propriety.

You can see my website :

Amicalement,
Martial

I've suggested we go for less rooms, with two, or even 3, individual beds per room.
Waiting for a follow-up.

So... other than the above www.moulindelaplaine.com hotel/b&b, we basically are booking out the whole hotels at all other stops!

All hotels/b&b's are confirmed.
Just waiting on final prices, and I'll have to pay a deposit for some.

I need to book the long, lazy lunch with Fai at Le Manoir de Saint Quentin.
Doing that now!

Yes, good all of the hotels have all conformed

Those French do have a habit of not going by the rules.......

Message from Fai... Le Manoir de Saint Quentin

Great! Steve.
I think you'll enjoy staying at Martial's.
Please remind me of the special dietary requirements for this member of your group, I seem to remember there was more than just no green stuff.
Looking forward to welcoming you all again.
Till then, keep warm and safe.
Best wishes, Fai

Well looking forward to this, we will be dinning in style,the drive looks great , the stop overs look great , whats not to like apart from hedge frank and the 7 can't bloody wait .

You need me there to keep you all in order and sort you out when things go tits up......😂

I have some costs:

Hotel Côté Lac
For those staying 2 nights, the cost is €113, with breakfast
For PeterE, the cost is €70.30, with breakfast

L'Escala Dau Lemosi
For 2 nights, the cost is €136, with breakfast

L'île Ô Reflets
For 2 nights, the cost is €140, with breakfast
(PeterE - the b&b is one of those that doesn't do single nights...)

Le Château de Sarceaux
Who knows but it will be worth every €

(There is likely French tourist tax to be added, which I think is €0.55 per day...)

I'll be paying deposits for those that ask for one.
So far just Hotel Côté Lac.

Chateau last couple of years has been circa €180 (or a tad less for the sensible ones who ignore Frank's suggestions of one - bottle of wine each - for the road!)

Le Prez... re dietary preferences... I don't like most nuts, so if they could be omitted, would appreciate it.
Happy to eat practically anything else though!
