Somebody please, please tell me that Rue du Dronckaert translates as Street of the Drunkard, in Flemish :-))
This has enough rooms for all. Bookings at the last place exceeded the room availability within a day or so. Menu choices look good, too, and they've got decent
Full details in due course, but I have to pay the hotel deposit in early December, so I'll be asking for that when I send out the booking forms next week. Preliminary estimates look like £145 per head for two nights including ferries, and £180 for single room sociopaths, but that's to be confirmed once I've got the ferry quotes.
While this is a long way from the most scenic part of France, it's a swift nip up the autoroute to Brugge for Saturday.

Shame so many of them are about to get weed in by drunken UKRMers.
"20 inches Flat screens in all our rooms ! - 26/06/2006
According to statistics', the 4 most important things for a customer are: food, bed, the bathroom and the television. We already had the first 3 points, itwe just needed a top quality television. This is why we installed in all the rooms a 20 inches flatscreen Samsung television. An irreproachable quality!"
Cool! I wonder if they'll be showing late-night pr0n?

Ah, that reminds me. I can't remember if I've had a reply from Tim Crowther yet.

Possibly. I remember the Saturday morning of the first Sedan trip - I had been swilling beer all Friday evening, not realising how dangerously close we were to the border.

Wasn't it the hotel in Dieppe that showed early-morning pr0n? ISTR Champ saying he was flicking through the kiddies' cartoon channels, and came across a full DVDA (or something) at about 8am.

Ah, well, that's the hotel we've just abandoned. Probably just as well :-)

And a swift detour to Noel cuvelier's beer shop, near Poperinge will reward those wishing to fill their luggage with exotic brews.
