ouchthathurt Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Morning all, so I’ve finally hit the big 40 this week and the wife and family have clubbed together to pay for a fishing trip to France (so I can tick it off the bucket list!) I’m looking at provisional dates in either June or October 2024. Preferably a long weekend, although id happily do a week, having a toddler at home, id feel bad disappearing for 7 days. im looking for drive and survive lake recommendations for a France first timer, preferably close to Calais as I’m travelling alone and am not massively experienced in driving on the continent, that offer long weekend packages, (but will “reluctantly” consider a week package!) that’s suitable for a France novice! I was looking at Vallee lakes, lake 1, if anyone’s got any feedback on this venue, id be grateful! many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B B Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Happy birthday week ouch that’s a great present 👍 Talking of presents, On my 40th birthday I opened my card from the Mrs and two air tickets for Amsterdam dropped out 😳 now me and a mate have always made it known for years we wanted to go and I couldn’t wait to tell him we were finally going thanks to my lovely other half. …but ( why is there always a but ) but over a birthday lunch as I was staring into space, daydreaming what me and my mate were gonna to get up to I came crashing down to earth when I realised what the good lady had been saying for the last 5 minutes that she will have to get her hair done and would defo have buy a new outfit for the trip 😏 To be fair we had a great time and me and my mate managed to go for my 50th commonly and ouchthathurt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayvid Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Some years ago now ,the lakes you refer to got a right slagging off by many people who had fished there , it may be different now , Look it up on CarpForum there was lots to read. ouchthathurt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
