Brugge, Belgium, is several hours away by auto and worth every minute of driving time. There are also quite a few tours that will take you there where you'll get to enjoy at least 3 or 4 hours in this spectular medieval city. It was one of the highlights of our recent trip.
As someone else also mentioned, Mont st. Michel is also breathtaking though if I remember correctly, the drive is a bit longer.
Have a great trip!
