At the time of going to press there were
no requirements for inoculations or Visas
imposed by the French Authorities on
U.K. travellers with a British Passport.
Visit www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo
(tel:0845 850 2829) to check the latest
information. Non British (or non E.U.)
passport holders, may require a Visa.
Contact the French Embassy in London
for guidance.
A full passport, valid for the duration of
your holiday, is required for each party
member - infants included. Visit www.gov.
uk for further information. We recommend
you travel with an EHIC (European Health
Insurance Card) which gives reciprocal
medical care in France - this is not a
substitute for health insurance. Visit www.
ehic.org.uk (tel: 0191 218 1999) for further
information.

Arrivals and Departures
Please plan your journey to arrive at
your chosen campsite between 4pm and
7.30pm (French time). Either our own
representative or the campsites staff will
be available to meet you and show you
into your Holiday Home. If you arrive after
the main gate closes (usually 10.30pm)
you’ll need to park outside the site and
walk through to your accommodation.
Your Holiday Home will be left ready
for your occupation, with instructions
of how to locate your Mobile Home.
We do not accept late arrivals without
prior arrangement. Please vacate your
Holiday Home by 09.00 on the day of your
departure.
Flights and Car Hire
There are several airlines that fly to many
airports in France. It’s quick and easy to
book online direct.
You’ll need to hire a car at your destination
airport. Please ensure your flight allows
you enough time to collect your hire
car and to arrive at the site before the
gates close (normally by 10.30pm in high
season). We have lots of links to airlines,
car hire, route planners and much more
on our website.
planning your journey
We offer a wide choice of ferry routes to France as well as Eurotunnel. The route best
suited to you will depend on your starting point in the UK and your destination resort.
Ferry Routes
Dover routes offer the shortest crossing time and sailings around the clock. These are
very convenient if you live on the East side of the UK or want the minimum crossing time.
Alternatively, if you live on the West side of the UK, you’ll find the longer sea crossings
from Portsmouth, Poole or Plymouth will save you up to 200 miles. Generally the road
network in France is less crowded than the UK.
P&O Ferries
Taking only 90 minutes, P&O’s Dover
to Calais route is a quick and enjoyable
way to hit the continent. With up to 25
crossings each way per day, around
the clock, you can come and go at your
leisure.
If you’re travelling from the North of
England, then why not take the Hull to
Zeebrugge crossing to Belgium - the easy,
stress-free way to arrive on the continent
and start your holiday.
Brittany Ferries
The Classic Cruise and High Speed
services from Poole, Portsmouth, and
Plymouth will take you much closer to the
best regions of France, saving you miles
of driving.
They have a fleet of superb ferries and
state of the art high speed craft.
On many of their conventional ferries, they
offer a choice of delicious food, served
in either their self service cafeteria or
alternatively in their chic main restaurant.
A different way to France?
Taking your car to the continent offers you complete independence. Folkestone to Calais
with Eurotunnel is the fastest cross-channel route so you arrive on the continent in only 35
minutes. On leaving the shuttle you can exit directly onto the French motorway network.
Crossings are frequent - up to three departures per hour during peak times.
Supplements: Only £78 per crossing throughout low season. £78 extra per crossing
midweek high season and £97 extra per crossing weekend high season.
