brittany - calais

[bisdu]

We have to go back to the uk for a funeral in the next few days or so.

Am looking for the cheapest route to Medway - Kent


Calais - Dover looks reasonable but can anyone tell me how much we are likely to pay in road tolls on this route (won't have time to take the scenic route)- thanks

Have look at :

www.viamichelin.fr/web/Itineraires

If you are going via the A84 to Caen and then onto the autoroute and over the toll bridge crossing the Seine, the site says €24.90 each way in tolls.

It's the cheapest for ferry costs,but a flippin' long drive from the Rennes area.

Thanks Pete - that was the info i needed.
I take your point BC I've done it a long while ago and it is deffo a long way esp if the weather stays like this.
We've tried Portsmouth - Kent too and that took forever, and the crossing is dearer - either way I could do without it.

How about Newhaven - Dieppe? Not as far to drive on the French side but a bit longer in the UK....look at the timetable here :

Thanks Pete - had a look - the price is good but can't make the sailing times work with the journey/hotel - looks like its going to be calais dover

Oh shame, no chance of going through the tunnel then?

It was really expensive when I looked this afternoon (albeit with a hypothetical date as we didn't have one then) worked out about 212£ against 78 on the ferry to dover. weird as i thought the tunnel was cheapest
