September France !!! (1 Viewer)

[FIDGET]

Hi Funsters,

Anybody else heading over to france in sept,

We are on the DFDS ferry on the 1st , pm to dunkirk then heading towards north brittany ,then south brittany and back via part of the loire.

Where and when are other funsters off too.

:sin: Ann & Terry:sin:

 

[icantremember]

It would be easier to ask if any Funster is NOT going to France in September!

Seems like everyone is off so it's going to be very crowded over there.

We are on shuttle early on the 5th .... should have been the 1st but left it late booking and they want 14 days notice with Tesco vouchersoh:

 

[froggy59]

Yep we are off to France on the 21st - and yes Tesco vouchers used
heading towards Alsace apart from that lets see what happens.

Agree - think lots will be over there. We certainly will be - we're on the DFDS 14.45 Dover to Calais crossing day-after-tomorrow, Wednesday 28th Aug.

Heading, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Switzerland and hopefully end up in Provence. :thumb:

WE are off to France on Friday courtesy of Tesco tokens.
We are intending to head south and maybe get as far as northern Spain, not sure where just travelling where the fancy takes us.
Maybe we won't get far at all!!

 

[Brisey]

We are off to France the weekend after next. We will be taking a slow meander down to the Parc du Feu.

We spent a day at Puy Du Fou last year and found it totally amazing and VERY busy but that was a Saturday,

It is our aim to see the evening performance while we are over there in September ..... perhaps we should have a Funster meet there.

Chunnel early on the 5th, can't decide between the Loire and then Brittany or Annecy and Provence, we have about 12 days traveling with 2 small dogs, constructive suggestions to aid a decision would be most welcome :thumb:

 

[Snowbird]

We were down the Dordogne this time last year and if the weather is anything like it was last year I hope you all have aircon as it was HOT :thumb:.

We sail on the 9th no real plans but visiting St Malo probably south as far as la Rochelle but following weather.

Does anyone know if it's still ok to stop overnight at Marine Parade.

Parking still ok in Dover, but a better place is next to the Dover Patrol memorial at St Margaret's at Cliffe. It will only take a few more minutes to get to the ferry but its a much better view and if you get there before 4 pm, you can get a cuppa in the old Coastguard station which is now a tea room.
Nice walks along the cliffs too. Beats Dover hands down

Two aires at Le Crotoy, the one by the marina is bigger and easy to get to the boulangerie!
Nice aire at Fort Mahon too, but a better one at Quend, although the town isn't as nice as the others
Have a good trip

Hi Allan,

Thanks for that - will give them a go. Is the marina aires in Le Crotoy the one nearer the town - I have read that the one on the sea side isn't as nice?

We stayed in a caravan site last year on the other side of the Baie de Somme in St Hilaire sur Somme and that was lovely, so hoping the other side of the Bay will be as good!

Sorry that should have read St Valery sur Somme! Never been to St Hilaire, but I expect its just as nice....!

 

[PhilandMena]

[Ber090]

Tunnel on early 3rd sept and tunnel back on 21st Oct. Nothing else planned!
Hope to see some funsters somewhere.
Cheers

Ferry probably Wednesday or Thursday next week heading for Brittany little break before having new knee

 

[Ridgeway]

We'll be there on Saturday to do the shopping and back home again in time for tea.

Weekend of the 14th-15th is a 3 dayer here so will be in the Alsace hunting down some Muscat

 

[Ifor]

We're booked for the tunnel late on Friday 9th Sept, arriving Calais at about midnight. Short drive to Cite Europe when we arrive and decide on Saturday morning where next.

We expect to be back in the UK next April or May, and plan on France for a few weeks, heading south as autumn sets in - probably to the Algarve but a trip to Morocco could be a possibility.

My blog, pilotesprogress.com will report our adventure.
