Just as well I travel to France via le Shuttle. Have been using it since 1997, and wouldn't go any other way.Brittany Ferries have pulled most passenger sailings with vehicles until September 13th!

Got to the check in once at 9:40 for an 11:30 "flight", thanks to the M25 being very quiet, and was asked if I wanted to go on the next train. I said yes, and he told me to get to it asap. I drove on, and went to the 4th carriage from the front. The attendant parked me up, and I asked him when it was going. He said "as soon as I close the door behind you - the main doors are already shut!" 30 seconds later, we set off. I was driving on the motorway at 10:30 (11:30 local time).
I've just checked t'interweb for a caravan holiday in northern France in mid-September for me, my daughter and granddaughter for a week. Around £400 including le Shuttle. An equivalent holiday in Cornwall is £400-£500 just for the caravan. I've excluded fuel costs as they even each other out.
We're being taken for mugs.
