'I took a 24h trip to France for wine tastings and tours – and was back home in time for dinner'
If you're looking for a quick Bank Holiday trip, I enjoyed a 24-hour trip to France from London, managing to fit in a wine tasting, walking tour and Michelin-star meal into my short holiday.
Departing from South London, I drove to the Kent coastal town of Folkestone to board LeShuttle, which takes your car across the channel to Calais in France in just 35 minutes. We were surprised to learn that the port town was filled with Roman influences as we toured the cobbled streets and historic buildings, including an impressive 13th century castle. The hotel we stayed at was just across the road from Bolougne-Sur-Mer beachfront, a perfect place to take in some relaxing viewsBefore heading home, we couldn’t help but stop at Cité Europe, the famous shopping centre just minutes away the from border where you can stock up on tax-free goods before going back to the UK.
