- Day 1: Travel to our hotel in St Omer, Eurotunnel or DFDS to Calais or Dunkerque
- Day 2: St Omer, Walk thru' cobbled street to the cathedral, visit factory and taste cheese followed by the Trois Monts Brewery. Home via the Flemish farm gardens at Mont des Recollets
- Day 3: THE BIGGY, guided walk around Vieux Lille, grab some lunch, then the Art Deco, La Piscine and art gallery in Roubaix. THEN to Ieper for the ceremony at the Menin Gate, after having a meal somewhere off the Grand Place. Please note it might only be Kip aan Spit [Chicken and chips! but we are working on it.] It is likely to be only one choice though. Home late! But;
- Day 4: Le Touquet, local tasting of regional delicacies [?], Boulogne-sur-Mer, France's largest fishing harbour to visit the basilica of Notre-Dame with the largest crypt in France and various underground passages, explore the old town and its ramparts. A much gentler day!
