We spent 2 weeks in France in the middle of September starting in St Malo and driving down
to Carcassone and back to Dieppe. No real plan apart from those two
places so we randomly picked interesting looking places 2-2.5 hours
drive each day or so.
We saw lots of old buildings, the slightly "disneylike" Carcasonne ,
the arena at Nimes (and the 5AD temple that is still complete), the
Pont Du Gard, etc
On the way back up my wife was working out where to stop before
Dieppe and looking at Compiegne in the guidebook when I heard her say
loudly "Bugger!".
"Problem?" I asked.
"They've got a Toy Soldier Museum!"
And they have and it was open the Tuesday morning we were there and I
managed an hour looking around and took slightly over 200 photos before
taking pity on her and moving on. Well worth a visit.
The full set of photos are on a google album here:
Here are some samples:
