Anyone know any decent hotels or know any decent places to visit in France that's not the usual tourist hot spots?

Links would be helpful. Bless

Where in France?

The North or South?

North. I'm thinking anywhere in Nord Pas-de-calais (Lille in particular). If not somewhere in Picardie (Amiens).

I'll venture way south next time round.

Furthest I been up North is Paris

I don't think there is much to do in Lille, You might as well go Belgium.

If it was South of France I would be able to help you out

Im looking at South of France right now, 5 days or so with the boy, wanna be near pampelonne beach. However so made prices for hotels.

1 friend said to stay in NIce and just drive to St Tropez, is that viable ?

I know its expensive and we are all aware of that, but fuck paying grands for a hotel for a few days.

Would rather this than marbella TBH

An hour drive that's it

So it makes sense

gayle how many of you going ?

i only really do hotels if its me on my own or with 1 person

if your going 3+ look for a villa or apartment to rent... works out cheaper plus its much better then a hotel unless your staying in a suite even then it depends on the hotel

Have you been, surely a villa in them sides will be crazy amounts won't it ?

There are 4 of us

Have you been marbella ?

Just made a few calls & yeah. Lille ain't the one lol but I may have to try your suggestion. Better yet I might as well skip northern France all together & just go Belgium. I've only ever driven through it in the past.

Thats the worst trying to arrange a trip with the boys, best way is to only go with boys that are working and ready to drop deposits. Not into that long talk "yeah next week"

So true... And it's what I was trying... They both work... Ones just got some debt he's trying to clear and the other goes out with an unstable female. Gutting all the same

Cheap and cheerful £8 return London - Paris via Megabus coach services.

They also got cheap Amsterdam coach tickets.

Late June and onwards depending on your travel dates.

Getting a coach from London to Leeds - I can manage.

But to 'dam booooy I dunno you know. I'm impatient so I couldn't see myself leaving London at 9am and getting there 12hrs later

Plus I swear it isn't that much cheaper than a flight that takes less than 2hrs

*edit* Didn't see the 8quid - each to their own I guess
