I go to Calais when I fish Limoges mate
I also head towards Reims to avoid the Charles Degal ring road , extra miles but so much quicker

Caen or St Malo is a shorter drive in France, but a long ferry journey than Calais.

The overnight crossing from Portsmouth to Le Havre is ok too.

This gives you a fairly pain free run down to Limoges.

Newhaven-Dieppe overnight

Rouen / Drux / Chartres / Orleans / Limoges . Easy drive , overnight ferry puts you in Limoges at the perfect time 😉

I guess it depends on where you live.?

South east = tunnel to Calais
A16 / A28 Rouen, Evreux, Dreux, round Chartres, Orleans, Vierzon and Limoges

Easy drive, time goes quick on the way there, as you're excited.

Time goes quick on the way home, as your flat out to make the train booking.

I'm off to limoges in April and I'm looking at the newhaven dieppe crossing. The costs don't seem much more expensive at all compared to the shorter dover Calais crossing is this right?

I use this route several times a year and find it really good value. The overnight (with cabin) also means you arrive early in the morning and nice and fresh for the drive down to Limoges.

Hi

I've done the Newhaven crossing.

My only issue is the stress of driving down from Cheshire, hitting a delay & missing the boat.

As the next crossing is over 6 hours.

Dover has regular crossings so a delay isnt such a big issue as they sail every hour ish


cheers Mike

I'll be going from nottingham and it's a slightly shorter trip down than to dover with the added bonus of a few hrs kip and a shorter journey on the other side. Had all look and the boats either 11pm or early mornings
