Get away from it all.
You dare to think about that again in this weather. Do something that others do not do, do a few days Northern France, Nord Pas de Calais, Haute Normandie or Piccardie. These are areas that can be reached by every classic and where time often seems to have stood still.
Everyone rushes through it
It is the part of France that everyone rushes through on the way to the sunny south. It is nationwide, time goes slower and people are unhurried. Moreover, they have not yet been dulled by the visit of generations of tourists. They are happy with your visit and genuinely interested. It is the ideal area to get away from it all. To forget everything. To enjoy.
Looks like: England
The landscape looks a bit like England, it is fairly open and rolling. There is a close network of secondary and tertiary roads and the range of food and accommodation options is excellent. Also good: There is also a wide range of houses and cottages that you can rent for a week or longer.
For people who speak French less well, there are plenty of large supermarkets where they can serve themselves. In the area where most people are passing through, landlords are often pleasantly surprised when people just want to rent their stay for a whole week.
We have even done that for ten days. And we never got bored. Our conclusion: Do it!
Indeed beautiful regions. You can also visit many old battlefields and gigantic military cemeteries. The local beers are also not wrong.
