Day 17 - Our last day of travel in France was our trip from Nitry to Coquelles near Calais. A near 5 hour journey but part of that is on D roads with the majority on the autoroutes. We were diverted on to another D road at one point but it only added 10 minutes thankfully.
With just one stop halfway where a French woman thought the dogs were very beautiful, we made it to the Holiday Inn, a hotel we have stayed at a number of times.
We were upgraded to an Executive room on check-in which was great. After settling the dogs we headed over to Cite Europe to pick up various items that we would unlikely see back home.
We would probably do a shop in a different store than Carrefour next time as whilst it is big, we struggled to find items that are distinctly french.
Back at the hotel we had dinner which was fine for a brand hotel although the main was a little over cooked.
The photo is of the sugar cubes which are a brand called Daddy; rather appropriate - Sugar Daddy. We discussed our holiday and the stays in the various hotels and meals in the restaurants. We had done well in using Sawdays guide for this holiday as the hotels were great.
Tomorrow we head to the Euro tunnel terminal and head home.
