Chateau du Gandspette is a site near to Calais, used to early morning departures - and there's a vet within walking distance in the village  Jean Paulus, 21 Rue Bleue Maison, 62910, Eperlecques Tel 03 21 88 46 00, fax 03 21 88 45 10.  Can't say whether he speaks English or not, but site reception do, and I'm sure they'll help.

As you come out of the campsite entrance, turn right, cross the road, and the vet is about 200 yards on the opposite side of the road.  Haven't actually used the vet, our dog is too old, but we often stay there and meet people who have.

If it helps were staying at the Camping Des Dunes. almost exactly between Calais and Dunkirk. Hope the link helps.

Hi

We stayed at Chateau du Gandspette last weekend and took our Sheltie to Mr Paulus. He speaks excellent English and knew exactly what to do. We have taken our Sheltie, Sam to France three times now and everything has been very straight forward.

Chateau du Gandspette was fine too and we wished we had stayed there longer than the two nights we were there.

I hope you and Max have a great time!

Thanks everyone I had been considering Chateau GS.  We are, howevver travelling up the E25 to Dunkerque so its a bit off our route.

Would still prefer something on the coast if poss for our last few nights. 

RSM have you actually stayed at Camping Des Dunes yet?  If yes what's like?

Another possible area is just over the border in Belguim - does anyone have any recommendations for there. 

Thanks again to all  who've posted past and future!

No Tim, Going on the Ferry Monday Morning. If your not going till later I'll write a review when we get back.

Just noticed your going on the 28th. We wont be back by then....sorry.

I agree with everything Kelly has said.Very good site and vet.

The site is a short distance from the road.Once you are on the road( a D road) it is a clear easy run to Dunkerque ferry port.Big shopping complex at St Omer for your goodies and a reasonable trip to the Belgium border if you wish.
