Sorry this won't be very useful to the op (and hope I'm not mentioning something which is old news to everyone else) but thought it was worth saying there is a site called speedferries.com which run several fifty minute crossings from dover to boulogne and back each day. It's way cheaper than any other company but we heard about it by recommendation from friends who've used it so it should be okay. Our August 2006 return crossing is booked for £50 (in a 7 seater mpv) although when I priced this up again recently it had gone up to £84 (still about quarter price). It'll be a long drive from Boulogne to Brittany this summer but on the money we've saved we're breaking the journey in a nice hotel in each direction and still coming out better off. Have made sure the travel insurance is in place though just in case it turns out to be too good to be true!

Was just about to mention Speedferries myself. We always use them - very quick, and no lorries on board, so loading/unloading doesn't take much time either. Would highly recommend.
