hi need a idea for somewhere within 2 hours drive of calais, somewhere for gentle cycle touring and some walking, a little eating a few nice bars,can be belgium or france, but nothing too off road as recovering from back injury, all ideas welcome, some kind of gite holiday or just a good location thanks

Hi flatback,
We did exactly what you're thinking of doing for three years on the trot.

No more than 2hrs off the boat. We used to take road bikes and MTB. Just pick a gite off of http://www.gites-de-france.com and away we went. We never had a bad week, always found plenty of riding to do, and had a great time.
