...best way to experience The Waterfalls. I suspect that won't turn out to be true. Gliding past them on the boat is a passive experience, and will probably be a crowded one, a bit like trying to see the Trevi Fountain these days behind the day-and-night tourist scrum that surrounds it.

...with what would have been its 60th anniversary falling this year, the 2CV is now a must-do tourist experience. In Clairmarais, a quiet town 45 minutes from Calais, Les Belles Échappées, www.les-belles-echappees.com, offers self-drive tours around the Nord and Flemish-tinged Pas-de-Calais regions...
