If you're heading straight from the ferry terminal to the motorway south, then this is the first chance for the pooch to do a bit of scratching and sniffing on French soil.
There's something here to please all the family, and the dog definitely gets a good deal too! The outdoor museum is a popular attraction for anyone interested in military history, however remotely.
An enormous forest with a number of trails to choose from, or just to chill out under the trees with a picnic while the dog explores the many scents on offer.
Popular relaxation spot for families, with lake and amusement park for watersports and fun. Cruising pedaloe swans for hire, irresistible.
The leafy glades of the Forest of Tournehem give welcome shade to walkers in summer and form a very effective natural umbrella on wet days.
This quaint small town with its celebrated gothic-style cathedral, elegant Flanders town houses and thriving market is an ideal place for a first (or last) night in France.
We've included this to let you know that for an emergency pitstop this Aire is available. It's not great - but hey, in a desperate situation who cares?
The Aire de Repose that appear every 20km or so - and always have WCs and usually picnic tables - are a real bonus of the French motorway system.
This walk starts at a small, and impeccably maintained, memorial to Canadian soldiers from WW1 and then follows a forest path where dogs are able to run off lead.
There are three fabulous dog walks very close to each other here.
If you're looking for peace and quiet and a complete getaway from the motorway network then this might be the answer.
