Planning on touring France for the first time (1 Viewer)

Another vote for the tunnel here: in terms of convenience it beats the ferry hands down. Even if you don't do the frequent traveller scheme or don't have any tesco points to put towards the price its still worth paying extra for the tunnel. Instead of having to waste time on a ship for however long the crossing is (spending money on board, trying to find a seat, annoying announcements etc.), you can sit in your van and have a bite to eat, do the washing up, read your book, listen to music etc. for the 30 mins or so of the crossing. We usually take an evening crossing and like many people head straight for Cite Europe for a night's sleep and a spot of shopping in the morning before heading off. I wouldn't do it any other way now.

Boring way to cross the channel and Dover is a sod to get to..No operation STACK on route to Portsmouth and Caen is a two and a half hour drive from Calais,,,BUSBY,,

And then when you get to Dover you find you've gone to the wrong bloddy town for the tunnel anyway!
