- I will be in London in February next year. While there, I thought we could
- make a quick 3-day trip into France (see Paris, say). Ideally, we would
- like to take the ferry (hovercraft?) from London to Calais or Caen, pick
- up a rental car there and drive to Paris or outskirts.
-
- Fodor's guide does not list any London-coastal France ferry service, though
- they are available from Dover/Folkstone, etc.
-
- 1. We want to avoid travelling to Dover for the ferry. Is there a
- ferry from London? If yes, could I have the name of the co.?
-
- 2. How is France in febrary? The guide says to avoid France in february (lots
- of skiers and school children), but since we have no choice at this time,
- we will have to go then.
-
- 3. Could you recommend a reasonable motel/b&b outside Paris? We want to
- avoid staying in the city if we can help it. We would then drive/bus into
- the city for the sights.
-
- (Our other option it to take the bus from London-Paris (via ferry), but
- then again we will need to stay in the city in a reasonable place.)
-
- Thanks.
