My other half wants to visit the French flea markets and go wine tasting. Can anyone recommend somewhere for me within a 4 hr drive of Calais.
The only thing I know about France is that I have to drive through it to get to Italy.
Thank you. Travelling around in circles again.

Nothing specific for flea markets in the north but if you Google "marchés aux puces" you will get a fair number of hits. The sites can be understood without French as they are mainly dates and places. You can also use Google translate which, although not to be relied on for important documents, is fine for every day understanding.

This site for instance http://www.1001objets.com/brocantes-vide-g...Calais-r15 You can change the regions on it say to Haute Normandie.

The flea markets which are open continuously tend to be in the larger cities such as Paris.

Not a great deal of help but someone may come along with more specific information.

As far as wine tasting is concerned, if you are within four hours of Calais, then it will really only be wine retailers who would give tasting sessions.

To visit vineyards for tasting you need to be in the wine growing areas which means getting down as far as the Loire.

The other option is to have a look at wine tasting trips in France offered on UK websites.

Sorry I can't be more helpful for the area you are specifying. You don't say if you have any time in mind. John

4 hours will not bring you into a wine area, only the Loire area, but just.
Weegie gave the info you need.
Otherwise give your wife a bottle of wine an Ipad and an ebay account




Sorry

Take some more time and come to Bordeaux, great city, lot's of wine tastings around and a very wellknown brocante in quinqonce

Quinqonce brocante is the 24th of april to first week of may. First week is the best. Heart of Bordeaux, lots of little bars, restaurants etc. Good atmosphere and not many foreigners. You could do Bordeaux by TGV Paris Bordeaux is only 3 hours.

Or head towards Reims or Troyes for the Champagne region? quite a few of the Champagne houses do tastings.
Or as said The Loire but that's more than your 4 hours, ( Calais to Paris is about 3 hours). Mine was a blue one!

Champagne region is roughly 3 hours from Calais

Thank you everyone. Researching now based upon your ideas. Ta Travelling around in circles again.
