Ferry good deals for getting to France this summer

Times Online - Travel May 5, 2010 - Whether there’s an ash cloud hanging over your next holiday or not, you have to ask yourself: do you really want to hang around in an airport when you’re on holiday? Wouldn’t you rather load all you need for your trip into the boot of your car and start your holiday as soon as you leave your front door?

With cross-Channel ferry bookings rocketing after the recent volcano-induced travel mayhem, it seems the British are rediscovering the joys of a journey by sea and shunning the problems associated with parking/luggage restrictions/security/queues/delays that are almost inevitable when travelling by plane.

Our France Magazine readers have long been advocates of ferry travel, preferring to have the freedom and flexibility offered in taking your own car to France. And with so many great ferry holiday packages on offer, France is yours for the taking.

As an added incentive to travel by sea, Brittany Ferries is offering half a case of French wine with its self-drive hotel breaks taken before the end of June. The one or two-night breaks give you the chance to discover the charming port towns of Caen, Cherbourg, St Malo and Roscoff (see brittanyferries.com/freewine or call 0871 244 1444).
