You don't have to travel by tolls at all and honestly they don't make the journey any faster if you do. If you pay the tolls you're on motorways the whole way yet if you don't pay the tolls you go through all the towns and get to see all the sites where your family would have been fighting and its often the same length of time.
Hello, we are travelling to France at the end of August and would like to have a one day stop-over in Somme to visit the memorial and battlefields. We will be travelling with a small dog though - could you please advise if the dogs are allowed on memorial sites (on a short lead of course). Many thanks.
A:
Just come back from the area. Loads of dogs about.
