France travel

Don't forget to visit our site map to discover the many ways this site can enhance your visit to France

Travel broadens the mind: but preparation can drive you round the bend! 

If you travel to France, this centralization of travel information about flights, ferries, hotels, self-catering accommodation, roads, maps and so on should be of use. Because information on ferries to France is specific to the U.K, I have put a flag against it.....

Travel to France by air? Flights from everywhere

Flight offerings from major airlines, often at cut prices. Some of these sites also offer car hire and hotel reservations.

Travel by ferry?  Ferries between the British isles and France

Every ferry port in England and Ireland from which you can get a ferry to France (and Eurolink) with the operator's name, web site and details of the crossing time and the port to which they sail. It's in a table for you to print out. It's comprehensive. An invaluable reference.

Convert pounds or dollars to Euros

In fact, convert just about any currency into any other

Convert miles to kilometres, hectares to acres, litres to pints/gallons  

and just about anything else to anything else (want to know how many roods or townships there are to the square mile?). Wonderful.

French hotels and castles

Several thousand to choose from. From two star to chateaux!

French holiday homes.  

Self catering, do it like the French and save money! Yes! Yes! Yes!

French route finder  ....and a map of France

How do you go by road from Calais to Rheims? Or indeed from any bit of France to any other bit. Find out and print it out. The ultimate free travel tool

Go safely! Driving and emergency phone numbers   

Speed limits, driving law and emergency telephone numbers in a format which you can easily print. (You might end up using a lot of paper on our web site)

French holiday insurance

Book your insurance online and get an acknowledgment by email.

French tourist board sites

Lots and lots of them covering the whole of France. The French are pretty good at this, although their 'Anglais' sometimes leaves un peu to be desired.

Normandy

Never been there? Find out why you might like to. Know it well? Then hopefully you'll enjoy this affectionate look.
