Dates for the 2014 France Trip

"My" Heritage Railways 2014 Steam Gala is over the weekend of 24th to 26th May ie Bank Holiday weekend. I missed this event in 2013 as we had already booked to go to the Hebrides but I would like to visit this event this year. How does this affect anyone's already-booked holidays (Shawn specifically)?
Today I received an advertising email from Ibis so (tongue in cheek) I checked out a potential booking in Nantes in mid May and was offered 2 rooms for 5 adults for a total of 41GBP. Not bad!!

    Just picked this up. the weeks I have booked include the bank holiday weekend so I would prefer to start the holiday over that weekend. Sorry if it upsets your potential plans but I can look into changing them if it helps will discuss in new year when it comes to making more definite plans.

  3. If we keep it to Nantes to Orléans (which is probably sensible as there are good railway links to both), the whole trip would require only 5 days at most (not counting getting there and back). How does that fit with your ideas, Shawn and Peter?

  4. Thanks for the comments. No, don't change your booked hols, Shawn. We can discuss options in Jan/Feb (can't book trains until then anyway) but a possibility is for me to go to my Gala on sat 24th, and go straight up to London that evening for an early Eurostar on Sunday 25th. I could be in Nantes by mid afternoon on that day.
