Going to france in august - I hope.

I want to get to bordeux area, but it looks a long drive.  I'm debating on which ferry to book.  Advice is needed.

The options I see are

1. dover/calais   long drive.

2. ferry to St malo, more expensive shorter drive.

3. Ferry to Bilbao in north spain and drive up, more expensive again.

IS there a ferry to Bordeux area???  I would like ot hear peoples veiws on the best way down there.  I will be driving a VW camper that averages 60/70 mph.

PLEASEEE  help

hi

just looked at speedferries and if you are just taking a car then they charge .....£19 .....!!!!!!!

goes up to £84 if you have a trailer , can go with a motor home but they don't take 'vans

Thank for the great info...  I thought that I was looking at £200+ to get across!!!!  

Is it advisable to book now, or nearer the time???

Also.. still being new to this lark, my VW camper... what is it classed as? motorhome? van? its hardly what I'd call a motorhome... but it is converted!

While in France, do they charge extra if you put a tent up next to your camper??

One question for BILLY. I not had my camper long, its a 1984 2L. What milage range can I expect from a tank full?? normal driving?  (I'm in Bosnia now and trying to plan my hol, not had camper long)

Just had a look at Seafrance - can't seem to get the booking area to work to look at prices.
