We are heading to France for the first time since 2019 and plan to use the Channel Tunnel rather that our usual Hull - Zeebrugge ferry. What is the best way to pay the bridge toll at Dartford? I was thinking about setting up a pay-as-you go account. Apart from the return journey I can't see us being down that way again any…
We are catching the Portsmouth to St Malo overnight ferry soon and know we will arrive earlier than we need to. We are overnighting at the C&CC site near Birmingham. We will have to depart there by 12.00. Where in Portsmouth could we park up for a few hours, we are 2 motorhomes largest is 7m in length. The other…
Hi all I am new to the club and new to caravanning abroad. I have looked through other discussion boards on this topic and they touch on my query a little but not completely so after advice from any of you seasoned pros. We are taking our caravan to Spain at the end of May. We are storing it there permanently so the…
Hi All We are travelling to France in june/july via Dieppe with some friends. We have around 2 1/2 weeks. We are considering going to Provence. Now, allowing for some what if's and maybe's, we are looking for suggested stops and +/- tourist sights. Is the time we have realistic enough? obviously, we would like to spend…
It's been 3 years since I last went to France and the first time since the B word came into effect; namely the reintroduction of Duty Free allowances. I used to bring as much wine as I wanted for personal consumption, but the new rules now limit it to just 18 litres of wine. I've crossed the channel dozens of times in the…
We are heading South through France this year and will probably end up in the Lot region south of Aurillac. Previously to get back to Paris via Rouen we have gone via Tulle then either Limoges-Chartres or Poitiers-Tours. Neither route is great so I am thinking of cutting back to the A75 towards Clermont then north. My…
We crossed from Portsmouth to Caen with Brittany Ferries on Saturday 23 April and were surprised how few people were on board. I counted about 4 caravans and 6 camper vans. Staying near Honfleur at Le Briquerie. A large site yet we are the only UK caravan here. Lovely site by the way. Large pitches, all with water and…
Could anyone recommend somewhere to safely store a caravan for just the month of June please? Thanks.
Hello all, Thinking of planning our first trip to france pulling the van for next year, however looking at many of the sites featured on this page, most of the reviews are quite dated. So basically, any recommendation for Britanny perhaps around the carnac area. Must be dog friendly and walking distance to a small…
For anyone with one of their cards it might be worth checking your account. We bought one in 2019 and used it on about 7 Aires topping it up a couple of times. There wasn’t much left on it but there was something. On checking through everything for an up and coming trip, I noticed that credit on the card was zero. I can’t…
