When I was breast feeding I obviously didn't want to take anything that might get into my milk!! so I tried some homeopathic travel sickness tablets from boots and they were amazing...you have to take them every hr or so ( sorry cant be more specific but this was 9 years ago !) and I could definitely feel when the hr was ending, and so feel they did work. This was on Roscoff to Plymouth crossing so 6 hrs...a long time to just "put up" with it!!!
These may well be Travella, which you can buy from boots. I too would recommend them. On a very very rough crossing back from Holland we were about the only two on the boat not green! Sitting next to us was a Dutch lady with a small girl, who looked very ill. Her mother asked 'What have you taken, you seem to be managing very well' so we said a homoeopathic remedy, and showed her. She asked if she could give her daughter some, so we gave her a packet. Fifteen minutes later the little girl was pink again, and asking her mother for some breakfast! Then mum took some, and later came to thank us!
I know some people knock homoeopathy but it works for us, and is no more expensive than drug treatment, so it might be worth a try.
However, on the Dover/Calais/Dunkirk crossings I don't think I have ever felt seasick except when we used to use the hovercraft years and years ago!
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!

I agree, Travella by Nelsons is a homoepathic remedy which seems to work very well. I suffer from sea sickness and use these tablets along with the acupressure wrist bands and together they really seem to work. The tunnel was my prefered route but now we have a LPG RV we can't use it so have gone back to going Newhaven - Dieppe and have a cabin so I can sleep which stops me feeling sick too.
Both can be used with children safely as you can get special child size bands and you cannot overdose on either.
