Hi

We have booked our ferry for next year and are using the Portsmouth - Le Havre route. If anyone has used Le havre port could you let us know if there is anywhere near the port to park up with a caravan. We are sailing back at 5pm and will be leaving Le Brevedent at lunchtime and will have a few hours to kill.

Thanks in advance.

We'd go for lunch somewhere, perhaps the Auberge de la Touques in Pont l'Eveque,  though for us it might then be a rushed meal  to catch the 5 pm. ferry.

If you are thinking about the CC 12 o clock rule it does n't apply at Le Brev. Most people tell Raph ( the owner ) and he will find you a spot by the entrance you can use till you are ready to leave. The route in and out of Le Havre is a dual carriageway to and from the docks, stray off that with a caravan into the town, and its hassle, esp with the locals (76 plates) who are not the most courteous drivers.
Comments re Touques and Honfleur are valid but best done without the caravan chasing you, esp Touques which has very narrow streets. The auberge is excellent but check the price of the menus, it is not cheap but worth the price.
Best to stay on Brev, have a last swim, lunch in the cafe, say cheerio to the ever smiling delightful Laura,and push off about 2.30 pm , just in case the Pont Normandie is busy if it is a Saturday.
Have fun.
AJ

There is a car park just before the entrance to the port where you can park. It's not far from the port buildings where there are toilets and showers. You will find a number of caravans and m/homes parked there over night. I have stayed there with my 'van.
