Hi All,
Later this year I will be in France, heading back to London, via Amsterdam.
It was going to be a straight through trip in the one day/overnight, etc.
I have since thought it might be nice to break my Paris to AMS train trip and spend a day somewhere in Flanders near the WW1 battle sites.
Plan would be to maybe stay in Bruges/Ypres, for example, and then hire a car and driver to do a quick Dunkirk to Ypres to Bruges trip – kind of following in the steps of someone who has just been shipped over from the UK, and was headed for Passchendaele, and beyond, if they were lucky enough to live that long.
I would then get dropped off back in Bruges, and next day go onto AMS for the train trip back to London, via Harwich.
I think what I am basically after is any tips/contacts to hire said car and driver/guide please?
There wouldn’t be anything much in the way of stopping at memorials, etc. Mainly a driving and looking at the topography type trip.
Any clues please?
