It all depends on what company/route you choose, vehicle, what day, time of day etc.etc.
There has been much discussion about ferry prices in ghost123's thread: ''France here we come!''.

Re: Traveling through France, free camping spots?
I think the best I got quoted for that route was £205 each way. I did not look at "return" tickets because we don't want to be tied down to a specific day to come back and I could not find any "open ended" return tickets listed.

Wullie is very fussy about the quality of his instrument when playing duelling banjo's with his rellie's in Swizzland

Re: Traveling through France, free camping spots?
Glad you are enjoying your trip
Our "rush to get there" has abated somewhat due to the sudden arrival of Summer here
Our plan now is to relax and wait for "Summer" to end, likely next week or the one after
- Then set off.

Re: Traveling through France, free camping spots?
I know, typically I left blighty a day before the weather got good. Having said that, it was still 34 degrees here at 8pm tonight, so better than the best of days back home.
Saw 3 T25s today and a few t1s. great to get a good old wave off them. Theres certainly less here than at home and they stand out a treat amongst all the coach built brand spanckers!
