Anyone interested in visiting France in the coming months might want to look at https://www.speedferries.com They're doing really cheap tickets, no restrictions. We just booked a weekend away in June for 2 people with car, cost just 34 pounds return.
Hurry though as offer is only open to first 50,000 people.

jdarnes - you just beat me to it !
Just noticed this on their website. Looks good:

Evenings: £15 one way, unrestricted or 25 hour ticket at £7.50 each-way (return?)
All days, all year, standard car + 6
First 50,000
Wow ![ Eat, Drink and be Merry - for tomorrow we get the bill ]0 -
Another good offer is this one from Eurotunnel.

Just £19 return for a car and up to 8 passengers mon-thurs. Put another tenner on for travel fri-sun. Only bookable online till July 14th.
Cheap enough for a money saving booze/cigs trip. The huge CiteEurope shopping complex is 5 minutes away from the tunnel exit. :beer:

Its worth the trip into Belgium to get your fags/tobacco... much, much cheaper than France. Its just under an hour to get to Addinkerke
Below are some price examples.

Liverbird, thanks for the link. Already gone to that site following the link in your first post! Last time I went to France, back in February, we drove over to Brugge (daytrip!) and stocked up on the Belgian border. We bought from the counter for French shoppers, as opposed to the English counter, as the fags were cheaper! If you're not fussed about getting fag brands that are sold in Britain, you can get some cheaper, yet similar quality fags from the other counter. (Yes, you have to pay in euros, then. I paid using my Nationwide CC, so got a great exchange rate.)
We're going to use our trip to France to drive over to see my other half's folks in North West Germany.In a rut? Can't get out? Don't know why?
