Eurostar
or TGV from
Waterloo or Ashford to Lille. (£50 approx return) Very fast
in France - 300 km/hr!
Then overnight sleeper from Lille to Antibes. From £140
to £240. Cheapest is in couchettes and best is in T2 compartments.
Leave Lille about 21:00 arrive 10:30 Antibes.
Couchettes sleep 6. Who can be anybody. We've met some smelly
feet but more often some great people.
T2 compartments are like hotels on wheels. Sleeps 2 or 3. They
include beds with sheets and pillows, settee, wash basin and potty!
Evening snack available.Your own attendant, breakfast included.
Expensive (£50 per person per journey) but plush and a genuine
1930's experience.
Supping a glass of wine, sitting on the settee in my compartment
with a beautiful woman at my side, watching the French countryside
flash past is just about as close to heaven.....
Get off at Antibes (Don't worry, the attendant will tell you
when. It's 10 minutes after Cannes!) then catch the local train
to Biot. (2 kms down the line)
The camp is a 3 minute walk from here.
 Take
your car on the train or buy a car when you get there, it could
be cheaper! About £800 north to south but it's real luxury
and you pass the journey in a T2 (posh) compartment. See above.
