Road trip around Europe 2019 - France and trip summary (5/5)

After leaving Luxembourg we switched tack again and headed North with Dover in sight. Since we've already seen Belgium, we chose to drive North through France and take the ferry from Dunkirk. Trip summary at the end!




I didn't take any photos in France for a number of reasons. First I was determined to get to Dunkirk in time and, to be fair, there really isn't much to see in this part of France. Not enough to schedule a stop, anyway. There is however some great dashcam footage.
