We've done the St Malo crossing, which was the best for driving down to the Vendee but very expensive even with the travel club;
Roscoff which, for the amount of driving the other side wasn't worth the expensive fare(&that was with a Brittany Ferries membership);
Caen which was a good compromise between cost and driving; Cherbourg, again a decent cost/driving compromise;
Dieppe, still q a long drive but you save a couple of hours on Calais & it's not too expensive, the ferry times are awkward & you don't get long for a sleep;
Calais which is one hell of a long drive but lots cheaper.
We have 2 kids & find a good night's sleep on the ferry rather elusive as there's always 1 who's awake, needs the loo, can hear the engine, water, other people walking outside or whatever. One Easter though, we did the over-night ferry & showered them & washed their hair, so they were ready for school the next day!
With the Calais route, we've done the staying over in Coquelles, driving to Rouen & staying there, but now we just tend to tunnel it & blast down to our caravan. I admit that we're not putting up a tent now & that I've got 2 big jars of coq au vin, a jar of peas & carrots, microwave rice, a bottle of wine & a carton of juice awaiting our arrival in the kitchen cupboard! But each time we go home, a treat is to choose our dinner for our 1st evening back!
