Cheaper Options for Returning from France (3 Viewers)

[diddydave]

Hi all we use the tunnel to cross to France, I was looking into a ferry on the way back but its £805 one way with a cabin seems very expensive is there a cheaper way ? any adise would be great

We did St Malo to Portsmouth last year, misses out a big chunk of France and you get a long ferry crossing

It was for a MH not a car plus 5 people and a cabin (or 2) not a car and 2 people I believe.

3 people + 13 year old. for that +7m mh it works out at 504€

Get yourself up to Calais, rubber boats leaving daily, Be early if you want a seat.

Don't forget if driving back to the channel ports you need to factor in fuel and tolls to get an accurate comparison.

No need for tolls..BUSBY..

The6 didn’t ask me to prove my age.

They pick it up from your passport when you board.

Just to let you all know camping sites for the middle weeks of June around Dieppe are getting booked up quickly. Something to do with WW2 memorials.
There are some sites still with room but it’s suggested people be quick…

We are heading back from Caen on the 4th. Hoping to overnight in the Aire at Falaise the night before.
Most crossings from Normandy/ Dieppe seem to have increased prices first week in June as well.
Caen / Portsmouth & Le Havre/ Portsmouth were significantly cheaper than the Dieppe route when I booked.

I do these calcs every trip and still end up on Irish Ferries Dover Calais - £100 each way with cashback and Tesco reducing it a bit

Sat in The Commodore Lounge on The Galicia enjoying coffee and Portuguese tart whilst sailing serenely down the Brittany coast , no driving , no traffic jams , no tolls , no dodgy aires or campsites and no astronomical French prices .
Wifey has booked herself a facial treatment at the on ship Spa and Beauty Centre this afternoon prior to the A La carte fare in the restaurant tonight .
Must resist the temptation to begin access to the complimentary red , white and rose wine too early .
Might not be the cheapest option but what a way to begin our Iberian adventure.
More updates to follow if it all goes to ratpoo ……. or the free wine runs out

Brittany ahoy !
