Have a stay in France and choose a bed and breakfast : you will enjoy french breakfast with french baguette, croissant, cheese if you want... You will be personnaly welcome by the owners, proud of making you discover their way of life. The better way to have short breaks and visit a country wherever you want : visiting Lille and having two night in the nearest countryside...then drive to the northern beaches, have a walk and just stay one night in Cassel...and so on...
