All by car from Dover-France-Belgium-Netherlands in 7days

Please advise on planning all by car from Dover-France-Belgium-Netherlands in 7days

Hello all, I know you guys are expert in advising on planning perfect holiday with my experience from past.

Now I have 7 days in hand. Planning in December. Destination France-Belgium-Netherlands all by car starting from Dover.

Expecting nice scenic places and all tourist attractions than can be done using 2 children under 2yrs. Disney land etc., but I don’t know how to plan, places to visit in Belgium , France and Netherlands in a week as said I will be driving.

Please advise , please

Are you going Dover-Calais in both directions - if so Netherlands is a long way to travel there %26amp; back in a week and still see stuff.

OR are you returning to UK from one of the Dutch ports (eg hook-of-holland -%26gt;Harwich) and doing more of a round trip??

If you can give these details, it sure would help!

We travel with kids. I think what you have planned is a bit ambitious - particularly as you may encounter heavy rain AND frosts and possibly snow. Furthermore, it will be dark very early.

My suggestion would be to limit yourself. The Netherlands will still be there next year - and the year after.

My kids loved Nausicaa in Boulogne (which isn%26#39;t that far from Calais). This is a big aquarium with an hilarious sealion at the end. Great fun for all. The tropical section is really interesting - lots and lots of colour, very vivid.

I would also try to stay out of Paris. December is Christmas rush. Too much for the little ones.

Yes , we live in oxfordshire so we thought is good idea to drive to dover -dunkerque and back. But we want to explore nice scenic places and all and some of you are right saying is too much to explore in a week.

but we want to have a good holiday across the channel something we dont find in home.
