By CarIf you wish to bring your own car, the shortest road journey (6-7 hours) this side of the Channel is via the Portsmouth/St.Malo crossing with Brittany Ferries (www.brittanyferries.com) Brittany Ferries also sail to Caen (8-9 hours drive) and Le Havre (9-10 hours drive). There are of course the Dover/Calais crossings and the relatively new Dover/Boulogne crossing. If you wish to come over by ferry, do contact us, as we may be able to obtain a discount for you on some routes.
Save on Brittany Ferries when you book this property with Holiday France Direct.
