Planning a summer trip to Saas Fee - can anyone recommend a reasonable overnight stop about 1-2h from Calais (A26 route)? Have looked at the usual Formule1 etc - but other suggestions would be welcome.

And there is absolutely nowhere to get a meal, unless you facny roadkill from the Campanile. I would rather stay somewhere a bit more civilised.

I like Les Trois Luppars at Arras. Great location right on one of the lovely old squares rebuilt after WWI and there are loads of places to eat and drink within a few yards.
The bedspreads are a bit eye catching though

We like Gina Bulot's hospitality and excellent cooking. Look at the website http://www.chambresdhotes-chezgina.com/ . Very quiet rural location but close to the A26 between two junctions at Auchy au Bois.

Ditto the B&B in St Quentin. Also have 4-bed rooms if you need them. We often stay there before getting a breakfast ferry. It is not far off the Autoroute and close enough to Calais to predict the arrival time accurately. Meals aren't a problem for us because we always aim to eat on the ferry.
