Finally after waiting 2 yrs we are venturing off to France in a few weeks time. Not fussy where we go so long as its south for some sunshine. We have approx. 3 1/2 weeks plus 2 days each side for getting to and from Calais. We don't have a route planned as such yet but would like to know recommended aires to stop at and to avoid and from your responses I can hopefully work out a route. I have the aires book so can look at your advice
