Ferry?
They are all good, better and faster than they used to be.
Norfolk Line was cheapest for us at £99 return for two
people and car between Dover and Dunkerque, booked several months
in advance. Food in the restaurant was awful! May have been a bad
day...

The new kid on the block. The Easyjet of ferries. Good luck and
very welcome!

Or Tunnel?
 |
Nick tells me it can be cheap. He found tickets,
recently, in the early morning or late at night at £49 each
way. Quite a bit more at peak time and an open ticket can be very
expensive.
The great thing about the tunnel is speed. It takes about 35
minutes to cross. |

Then... |
| |
Pick a motorway, any motorway:
 |
| |
To Find the Site;
Take the A8 towards Antibes until Exit 46
to Demi-échangeur de Bouches du Loup, signposted Bouches
du Loup / Villeneuve-Loubet-Plage. The D241.
At the roundabout take the first exit and
then the N7 towards Antibes. After 3 kilometres take the first exit
off the roundabout signposted Biot - The D4.
Take the first road on the left (Avenue
de Mozart). At the end of this road turn right and the entrance
to the camp site is on your left.
Motorways are
rarely crowded, often pretty with good service stations.
Costs about £50 in tolls from Calais to Antibes. distance
about 750 miles. (15 hours driving time approximately.) Avoid first
weekend in August and July.
Cheap hotels near every motorway exit in many towns include (cheapest
first): Formule 1, Ibis, Premier Classe, Campanile. Prices from
£20 to £50 B&B. Always clean, mostly en suite, friendly
and Campanile food is great.
If you feel adventurous you can find some wonderful experiences
by avoiding the hotel chains by coming off the motorway and stopping
at the first hotel, boarding house, pension or B&B on the right.
We've found some great places doing this and one or two awful ones!! |
