It used to be quite a popular (if expensive) way to get south quickly and I remember friends doing it. However, that would have been over 30 years ago. I didn't realise that the service was still available. What are you proposing to load on board? I don't know if they would take caravans or motorhomes.

Freedom is a light caravan and an open road.

Yep, looked at Motorail many times in the past, in fact the service used to go from one of the ferry ports, but in later years was only from Paris.
We are on the main campsite for a fortnight, and the journey is one of the parts of the holiday that we really enjoy.
We do two three over nights to get down to Frejus.
Armbouts Cappel (Dunkerque)
Chalon Sur Saone
Salon de Provence
This really breaks the journey up into bite size pieces, and we use the “Premiere Classe” budget hotels, which work out at around £25 per night.
Coming back we just do Chalon Sur Saone and Armbouts Cappel.

We’ve done Paris to Nice with 1974 midget as it was quicker than driving the distance. You have to travel on separate train and meet car at the other end. Ours arrive following day some had to stay in Nice overnight .

Yeo MGJo, there must be something about France and MG's, we came across a small group last July on our way back from Frejus, at one of the autoroute Aires, just North of Dijon on the A5.
Three MG's and a VW transporter, although the MG's were of the modern type, nice to see though.
