We stayed at the "Hotel des Ducs", excellent location if you want to spent 2-3 hours visiting Dijon. If you just want to stop over, there are two Campanille (www.campanille.fr)? that are both affordables and conveniently located near the highways.

Many thanks I've always done it in one push - have you considered that? Once you get going on the Autoroutes it's not as bad as you might think, much less tiring than British motorways I find. Might not work for you, depends on how far you have to go to get to the port I guess. Reims is a nice place with plenty of hotels, but it's probably too far north. Dijon may work though, there should be a good selection there. Have a look on the michelin map site (www.viamichelin.com I think, it is *not* www.michelin.com), it's got a really good route planner and will suggest hotels en route. |

Try
http://www.hotel-bb.com/ I used them last year and I cannot fault them for the money.. Room for 4 was 46 euros in Lyon... They have many hotels on the Alpes route.... This one http://www.hotel-bb.com/detailhotels.phtml?NumLangue=2&id=&source=google|b &numrecord=&hotelid=4287&NumRegion=11 might be suitable.. have a look at the map on that page... You can use AA routefinder to gauge the distance and driving time from Calais.. Good Luck... "Abairsty" wrote in message ... Driving down to Avoriaz(from Calais) later in the season.

... Driving down to Avoriaz(from Calais) later in the season. Any help on suitable places for an over night Hotel stop..approx 4-5 hours from calais. Many thanks If you are looking for budget places to crash out for a night, the Formule1 chain is worth a try, or the Etap chain is one rung up the quality ladder. Both have websites with maps of locations, and can be booked on-line. The downside is that they are sometimes on industrial estates or nowhere near other facilities. HTH regards, Richard |

We found a hotel using http://www.france-hotel-bookings.com/.
I made a booking and even had a follow up phone call to confirm which was excellent. |

Many thanks We night-stopped in Troyes - but that was after a long UK leg plus using the ferry from Dover. Dijon is a much better idea if you must, or particularly want to, break up the journey. I have driven to the Megeve / Chamonix area a few times now and have no qualms about doing it in one, especially after using the tunnel - it is so smooth, fast and convenient that it is well worth the extra money. Having said that, if you book well in advance it costs pretty much the same as the ferry. Roy |
