Les Grottes de Roffy Campsite

With a huge choice of ferry operators and routes – not to mention Eurotunnel - taking your car to the continent has never made more sense. Channel crossings can be booked online as part of a package, and don’t worry about driving abroad if it’s your first time – we can help you with our recommended ferry and driving routes to help you hit the open road en route to Les Grottes de Roffy.

The western channel port of Caen Ouistreham offers a choice of day and night sailings with Brittany Ferries. If you take the overnight crossing, then you can do the drive without a overnight stopover, but at just over 600km you will want to stop and stretch your legs from time to time! Why not take a break in the Loire valley - the city of Tours is en route and well worth a look around.

Taking the Calais option gives you the choice of crossing the channel by ferry or train, with departures around the clock. From Calais the shortest route is via Paris, but if you don't fancy tackling the Paris ring road (peripherique), take the slightly longer journey via Rouen in Normandy, before heading south through Tours and Limoges.

If you would like to break your journey in the Loire, check out the great facilities on Le Parc de Fierbois, Domaine de la Brèche and Le Château des Marais.
