Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 4811502, member: 38"] I would definitely spend a day in Dover - there is a metric crap ton of history at the top of the hill outside of town. There’s a second century Roman lighthouse, Henry’s big ass castle and the tunnels where Dunkirk was planned and carried out. The best hotel in Dover is a Travel Lodge. I am not kidding. The best restaurant is called the White Horse Inn. The second best is a Burger King. If you take the ferry over to France and intend to come back, double check the passenger rules. You might have to steal a bike in France to get back on the ferry to England because they do not always accept pedestrians. (Solution - steal a bike. It happens.) Stay wherever in France. Bayeux is close if you want to stay for a day or two. What to visit is obvious….the beaches, the cemetery. Rouen is a good pick to go to from there - beautiful city on the Seine, like 70 miles from Normandy. Radisson Blu was a nice hotel. Paris is probably about 90 minutes away by train. We stayed at the Hilton Paris Opera - actually last month. If you don’t mind walking, the Champs, Arc and ET are walkable from there. Their air conditioning and water pressure are the gold standard in a country where both are considered almost impossible to master. French people are annoying, but you get used to it - they will be nicer to you when they decide that you are not British. Not very nice, but mildly nice - they get less mildly nice the further you get from Paris. If you get as far as Bordeaux, they struggle to tolerate your existence. They do not know how to make an ice cube or air condition a building, so keep that in mind if you are traveling in summer. [/QUOTE]
