France Autumn Tour

Ok I am  heading off to France  for 6 weeks.  Plans are  not  set in stone so very  flexible. Basic  outline is Alderstead Heath 28th -30th Aug ferry to  Calais then to Chateau Gandspette for 1/2 nights then  following  my nose  down to the  CoteD'Azure  in  order to  meet up with friends. However as said no plans  except for ending up on the  Med. I did try to do  this  last year  but  no one else turned up,  let's see how  this  goes
