Come October 2016 we are driving South - inland Costa del Sol bound for three to four months. Along with our 3 Jack Russels. Possible final destination will be Monda/Coin area depending on what is for rent.

Route idea so far is Poole - Cherbourg. (Arriving about 2pm)

South bound with Michelin Routes and TomTom.

For those who have driven similar before - how far into France do you go before stopping for the night?

Hopefully we can find a dog friendly Hotel and pre-book. 

I know there are travel threads here (somewhere) but the ones I found were from a number of years ago.

All input appreciated.

Wendy :)

Loving the advice and help. Thank you.

When driving down with dogs - St.Malo to Monda / Coin area..... 

How many overnight stops do you reckon?

Plus do you pre book a dog friendly hotel?

or do you have a list and rock up and hope for the best?

 

Thank you x

Thanks Fartharder,

Sound advice indeed, I can't see the Turkey property selling quickly somehow so in the meantime I thought we may try the Holiday Home Swap  idea and spend lots of time just looking. At the moment I favour Monda / Coin area as I have friends there. However who knows!

Hi,

Glad to  have found this forum. We have everything to learn!

We are both retired, have 3 Jack Russels and intend to drive down next year once I have had a new hip. 

We will go Portsmouth / St. Malo then onwards with a view to ending up in the Monda / Coin area for a month or two. (I hate the UK winters) We will eventually buy something, somewhere but have to sell property in Turkey first.

Any input happily accepted.
