Hi there, we are due to visit France  for last 3 weeks in August, but just cant decide where to go!!!! decisions decisions........is anyone else out there then, if so where  are you goin. Wondering if any groups of people are holidaying together, makes life more exciting. Look forward to hearing from you,

Ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge.

Cheers

Last weeks of aug are IMO a great time to go- prices and queues are shorter;  in UK the summer is starting to fade but it should still be 'full on' in France.

We are taking 3 days to get to the Med at Argeles sur Mer and returning via a week on the banks of the Dorgogne which should be shallow and warm by then. 

Well we've booked here for ten days in the last couple of weeks of August http://www.auvallonrouge.com/indexgb.htm 

with stops here 1 night http://mairie.vermenton.free.fr/crbst_11.html

and hopefully here 1 night http://www.campinglejonquier.com/

We will make our way back via the Loire and Brittany.  Might stop at Val de Cantobre or Les Peupliers Riviere on the way back, haven't made any definate plans for coming back but will probably use some of the camping cheques sites.

Bit worried about the fuel costs though.

This site looks very nice Paul. Have you been before?

 

Cheers

Two of you going to Chalain, guess ur not going together!!! how are you breaking the trip up, and why zeebrugge? is it a cheaper crossing?

Thanks

Hi

No we've not been before, I just wanted something different to the usual Atlantic / Med coast. I booked last November and might have had second thoughts if I knew about the fuel and exchange rate increases.

It looked a nice site, and has the Lake and Pool complex, so we should be able to wear out our 7 year old each day.

I'm hoping to do the 460 miles in one go on the way there, I'd rather do that than waste a day. Even if it takes 12 hours, just drop the legs get a nights sleep and sort out the next day.

I might have a break on the return journey, depending on our experience on the way down.

I'm going Hull /  Zeebrugge because we live near Hull, so we're only 30 minutes from the Ferry. Its a bit more expensive than a Dover crossing (did that last time) but will save 12 hours driving, and the way fuel prices are, might end up cheaper!!

Cheers
