Formule 1, Bayonne

Advantages: Cheap, close to motorway
Disadvantages: Very few facilities

...I was looking for a cheap hotel in the area of Abbeville after my husband discovered it was about £50 cheaper (at least) for us to get the ferry to France on a Friday night than early on a Saturday morning, presumably because of all the day-trippers.
