Day 1 - Sunday, 10 Sept
Check-in by 08:50 for the 09:50 Eurotunnel crossing to Calais. From Calais the tour drives east via Lille on to Tournai in Belgium. An optional stop awaits at the amazing Mahymobiles car museum in Leuze-en-Hainaut, where more than 300 cars and motorcycles have been collected by one family since WWII. From the museum we head further south to the Belgian Ardennes, to the Hotel Castel de Pont-a-Lesse, near Dinant. Evening meals are included.
Day 2 - Monday, 11 Sept
A relaxing day so that guests can explore the local area. After a leisurely breakfast, it is possible to relax in the hotel and enjoy the “wellness facilities”. For a dip into some culture it is also possible to visit Dinant on the hotel’s doorstep. The town is famous for its Citadel that dominates the skyline as well as the cable-car that can take you to its summit. Alternatively, you could choose to visit the former convent that overlooks the winding river that is now the Leffe beer museum!
Day 3 - Tuesday, 12 Sept
Today’s road run allows us to explore the Ardennes countryside. We will visit a site of historical significance that was used in the summer of 1940 during the battle for France. The site is now home to a museum and memorial, dedicated to the war's effect on the local community. Just a short distance away is the town of Chimay. As well as being a good lunch stop, there is a museum, shop and abbey that are worth visiting. The town also gives its name to Wallonia’s most famous beer. The abbey itself opens up into stunning hidden gardens.
