Norm ..
No, obviously not, I mean, well, no, I couldn't, I wouldn't! France is a great country, ruined by its inhabitants! There, that's levelled the score!

That was the sort of hand-holding I was referring to, rather than physical... bleargh! I just had an image of someone (me! ) holding hands with Justy whilst riding down an autoroute. I'm going to need to get some acid to rinse my eyes out now! On the accommodation thing, I'd second Jon's budget idea. Formule 1 was ridiculously easy to book online, stupid cheap (€30 a night for a room for 2) and the lack of staff means you can pretty much turn up at any time. The whole interior is made of plastic, which is, IMO, pretty grim at first sight but kinda adds to the charm when you know it's coming. I know that you don't get much of the local flavour but the sheer convenience gives it a big thumbs up from me. It could, as Mike intimates, all happen without a booking. Turn up at the port / station, get on the next boat / train and start looking for somewhere to stop around 7pm. It'll get you there but there is a risk of having to stay in different places.
