Great lake. We were there at the end of May last year. there is a campsite just down the road. WE travelled down on the friday and went there for the night. 2 mins from the lake.

I've driven from Calais hundreds of times (I've lived in the Dordogne for the last 13 years) if you get to Paris at the right time it's the quickest way by far !!

I always do Calais but I normally drive Friday night and stay in a motel, you can get a motel for about £35 a night nothing flash but its got a bed and shower.
then drive the last couple of hours in the morning. limoge takes about 7 hours in total as a steady 70 - 80 mph

I live in Portsmouth and still go Dover Tunnel, I did the Ferry overnight to Caen once never again.
To expensive and I cant sleep in the chairs .
A cabin maybe but even more expensive I don't doubt.

Cabins are a must on an overnight, depends what crossing and when but I've had them for as little as £18 , normally about £30 / £35 though.
Newhaven/Dieppe is a good middle ground , not as far to go as Dover (for me) and a hell of a lot cheaper than the P'mouth crossing.

We've been going down to the Limoges area for years and our preferred route is always the Eurotunnel.
I did the Ferry out of Dover a couple of times and its just tedious compared to the tunnel.
We like the lack of stress on the way home in particular. If something happens that delays us we know we can just get another train quite easily and they normally let you board two earlier or later for free.
When you've been diverted off the autoroute cross country for an RTC its nice not to worry.
We normally do the Paris route as we get the tunnel about 01:00 and are normally leaving Paris as it gets light. Its busy and they drive like nuts but its not very busy.
Might try the Rouen route one day asI used to do that every year going down to Le Mans and it was more chilled.
