Oh, mine's only naughty ... but when I read "cheapest way to get to France or Beligium" I thought .... swim????
If you've got Company Car and they pay petrol then ferry definitely - we did it from Dover fairly regularly on a duty free binge trips to euro central - look out for vouchers in the red newspapers, they do these special offer things where you can go for a £1 that kind of thing. Don't know about the train, I never quite fancied being underground for that long .....0 -
A couple of Easters ago, BF and I went on the Eurotunnel. Hadn't been before so wasn't sure what it would be like but it was fine. You don't even know you're underground, and you get to France so quickly. You can get out of your car and walk around.
PP, I don't know if you collect Clubcard vouchers but if you've got some, you can use Deals on Eurotunnel: http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/product.aspx?R=148&bci=4294967191|Travel
Also, you mentioned Belgium. When we went to France for the day, we drove to Belgium for a couple of hours as we were close to the border. Didn't do a great deal since time was limited, but we still went!
Hope this helps a bit.0 -

Thanks for the replies. managed to book through P&O for £22 return including a bottle of wine. We live quite close to Dover so travelling not a problem.
