return via Le Havre to Portsmouth
Not sure why, but the Le Harve ferry is cars only. Tried to book a return trip on it this week, having to tootle along to Caen instead.

Also the trip out of Calais or Dunkirk down to Cassel then onto the Roubaix cobbles around Lille, make a stop at the velodrome then up to Ypres before back to Dunkirk or Calais is fantastic, full of French food and Belgium beer.
Did this in July last year (though didn't get to Roubaix) and loved it. Barely any traffic either.

Can highly recommend the ferry from Portsmouth to St Malo then ride across the Cherbourg peninsula along the Normandy beaches then return via Le Havre to Portsmouth or ride further along the coast to Dieppe to return to Newhaven.

Both trips are 4 to 5 days to see stuff (the war memorials mainly). Camping is real easy all over this two areas.
