Another vote for driving. We've driven a lot over the years, and use the journey as part of the holiday.
Used Hull to Zebrugge on a trip to Lake Iseo (between Como and Garda) Drove Zebrugge past Brussels and Luxemburg, the south through Alsace to Colmar. (off motorway in this part of France)
Three days in Colmar, then Basle, St Gotthard Pass, Como to Iseo for a week.
Returned via Beaune for three nights, then an overnight in Belgium on the River Maas.
Three nights gets you time to get an evening meal, a full day in the city, then a full day in the region. It was the vendage in Alsace, so a lot of time avoiding trailers full of grapes! But the Vosge area is stunning - neither French or German - a nice mix of both.
Motorway through Belgium is however, not that easy. Poor suface in many places, and full of Belgians - not the best drivers in the world.
