If anyone can recommend another suitable destination across the channel but not too far from WW I would greatly appreciate it. I was thinking next of trying to make it to Belgium, or Holland. Anywhere where it is relatively near to WW, not too difficult with all the airspace and most importantly where the food is good
Ostend (and maybe lunch in Bruges) or Antwerp are easy enough. Also consider Lille, Rouen and Caen if you're happy to stick with France.
