By Car

back to map...

From the UK

The journey takes approximately 10 hours from Calais.

The majority of our customers arriving by car from the UK split the journey in two, spending a night in the Dijon, Troyes area, about 4 hours from Calais.

There are many overnight possibilities. Some of our guests have stayed with Logis de France which are generally small guest houses with excellent french cuisine. Alternatively there are many motorway budget hotels such as Formule 1 and Etap where out of season you don't have to book.

If travelling from Northern England, we can highly recommend the overnight ferry with P&O Ferries from Hull to Zeebrugge. The ferry leaves Hull around 6pm and arrives in Zeebrugge about 9am the following morning.

Also highly recommended for low cost to cross the channel are Speed Ferries. Speed ferries operate from Dover to Boulogne 4 times a day in each direction. The crossing takes just 50 minutes on these high speed catamaran type ferries.
