I go Portsmouth to Caen so no need to go anywhere near Paris for me luckily. Nice drive down to Le Mans, Poitier and then through to Limoges. Comfortable 6 hours of decent roads. We've got 2025 and 2027 booked for Golden Oaks, as like you with the Secret Garden, it was an ideal family holiday with quality fishing. Always been tempted by Chanteboeuf

6 hours driving!
I hate driving, I get bored after 30 minutes.
Not so bad if someone else drives and I go to sleep. If I can't get to sleep then that's boring as well

I always travel to France with friends by car, of course, it is long and tiring. This month, there were no travel companions, so I decided to save money and flew for the first time from Liverpool. I was worried about how I would cope with transporting the equipment, so I collected everything I needed in advance to not be overloaded and ordered flagship transfers so I didn't have to worry about parking or travel time, I just arrived and flew. Upon arrival, I rented a car on the spot, it was much easier to get there.

Really pleased with the price of return Dover Calais crossing with AP crossings. Charlotte was very responsive to messages and saved us a fair few quid .

Usually get pretty good deals through Ferrysavers.
