    transmanche ferries

    Hi Tracy, theres a couple of places to park and wait, if you go into the terminal and have a word with the duty staff they'll probably open the gate and let you onto the quay waiting area, if not just to the right of the entrance gate is a waiting area 4 lanes I think more than enough room for...

    camping le fief

    Maria we have a bailey Oklahoma and whilst the entrance is ok the pitch lines are seperated by large hedges we found it exceptionally tight to get down-- and I drive artics in my spare time, when they show you to your pitch walk down with them then make your own way there. Watch some of the...

    newhaven to dieppe

    We use Transmanche all the time-usually once every 6 weeks and have never had any problems at all, in fact we find they tend to bend over backwards to help, even phoning to let you know your sailing has changed to a later time. Yes they are a "no frills" operator and the ships are basic (at the...

    which way to les sables-d'olonne

    Pete, we usually head south from Dieppe useing the Caen, Rennes, Nantes route and have never had a problem. However last year we were advised to use the Rouen Les Mans route-it was awful, it took nearly 13 hours to get down to Royan, I can only equate it to the M1 on a Friday night. Needless...
