Hi Derek, Thank you for the advice, fortunately I've already got my trusty Nationwide debit card which I've used the past couple of years. I agree it's great because of the higher rate you get compared with the tourist rates, and there's no charges. I'll be using it for fuel and most of the...

Andy, Nick, Thanks very much for that, I'll be aiming to fuel at the Hyper markets then, Cheers! Lara.

Does anyone have a rough idea of the cost of diesel at the moment please? We're travelling from Calais to the Vendee on Sunday, and other parts of France over the following 3 weeks, and i'm just trying to budget an approximate cost. Total mileage in France will be about 1500 miles. Avoiding...

Royston, Quote from the info on Driving Licences leaflet that came with my new licence - B1 "Three or Four wheeled light vehicles - Motor Tricycles, Quadricycles and three or four wheeled vehicles with an unladen weight of no more than 550kg" I think it covers the Quads you see the farmers out...

Hi Sarah, We travelled with LD Lines in August 2009, Portsmouth to Le Havre,

I've just booked our crossing with Carefree,

I can also recommend Le Pin Parasol, just come back from a 3 week stay there, also there last year for 2 weeks. We had a HUGE full service pitch, and had no problems getting our twin axle van on. Spoke to a few people who have stayed all over France and found this their favourite site. Kids love...

Thanks for all your help Allyson, i'll let you know how we got on!

Pressed the wrong button again before i'd finished!! Just wondering which route was the best, preferably the quickest, cos the kids are desperate to get there! Leaving tomorrow lunch time, can't wait!

Hi again Allyson! I'm just wondering what made you choose the route you took through France? I put it into the Michelin web site, and it gives the quickest (and most recommended route) down past Le Mans, Angers and towards La roche-sur-yon. Tolls given as a total of 39.80 Euros, distance of 300...

Sorry, pressed the wrong button, meant to add thank you very much Allyson for your advice, I'll let you know how we get on!
