So, for 2026 the plan is Le Tour Massif 2026.
Kinda based on Le Parc Life, back in 2017.

Dates:
Outbound: 3rd/4th June
Return: 13th June


Thoughts?

Looks damned fine to me...

That said, have a strong preference to be back on/before 9 June - so could we go a week earlier than suggested above?

How about:
Outbound: 28th/29th May
Return: 7th June


Or, if we use Caen both ways we can do:
Outbound: 30th/31st May
Return: 9th June

Actually, Caen both ways may be better, as we have done the Cherbourg peninsular to death, and the roads are rather, well, boring...
Thoughts?

Caen both ways fine for me!

Between stops 2 and 3, we look to drive west/near Limoges - so could we factor in a visit to Oradour-sur-Glane which is nearby please?

This is an abandoned village where there was a massacre in 1944; left near enough as it was by way of memorial.

Bound to be upsetting but it's on my list to visit (contemplated doing so last time we saw Roger Swift)
