Norfolk Line Dover/Dunkerque will probabley be cheapest for the crossing but check the other Dover operators' websites as well, Dover is the cheapest crossing.

The only gas bottles changable in Europe as well as UK are Campingaz International you cannot change Calor bottles in France, but if you are only going for a couple of wks, 2 full Calor bottles should last you.

Many French campsites use the same blue/white hookup plug as you have already but some still use the 2 pin French domestic socket, Go to your local caravan shop & ask for a 'French EHU adaptor'

By the way France hasn't got an EAST COAST, perhaps you mean SOUTH or WEST, right you could go to LA ROCHELLE and visit the ISLE DE ROY, or further up ST.NAZAIRE, HOULGATE is very nice and if you are lucky you can actually camp next  to the sea,and almost in the tow centre, but i would look/take a good map with you and just stop wherever you fancy, i found that France is always nice and very welcoming where ever you go!! And you must visit ROCAMADOUR please check the spelling i think i have spelt it correctly; the second most visited place in France after Paris.  Enjoy your trip and keep us posted when you comeback!!

If your OH is a such a WWII freak then you might not get further than Normandy as there are so many places to visit, been there done that several times.  Ab Fab as they say.

Enjoy your holiday

La Rochelle - you can see the outsides of the Sub Pens but you can not go into them (unless it's changed in the last 2 years) lady in the L R tourist office seemed amazed that we would want to visit them

There is supposed to be a Museum at the Lorient Sub Pens but when we went (June'07) it was only open on Sundays and we had to leave on the Saturday :-(

We also stopped at St Junien and visited the Martyred Village at Oradour-sur-Glane
