Butterfly sites Northern France?

[FISHiEE]

Hi,

I have 3 days holiday still to allocate with this year and being as I am quite close to Dover, was wondering if anyone can recommend some sites in northern France I could go to from there. Also time of year?

One species I'd really love to see is the Map butterfly.

Thanks in advance.

I visit the Pays d'Auge quite often, but I don't think I've seen Map Butterflies there, only in the Loire region or further south, or once or twice in central Brittany in the past.

I spotted this one 2 weeks ago in the Indre region:-
