sutty2006 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 flying or driving? I dont see the point in flying, its only roughly 230 miles to dover and a quick hop on the ferry to Calais. Usually go down the coast to Le Touquet (sp) nice little coastal town. If you're flying, god help you. France is a nice country, just spoilt by the french hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EscortNreg Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 http://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/nanterrela...379266aad69ccc9 Thats the hotelwe stayed at.... Its not the best hoteli have ever stayed at but your hardly there any way... You can get a train directly there from CDG airport and the train station is literrally 2 minutes accross the road. Its in a "proper french" part of paris, butchers with whole animals hanging in the window, deli counters, french market.... Its just amazing m8... And look at the price.... from 68 euros a night... Book through a travel agent and its even cheaper Best part though... You can get a train from the hotel directto disneyworld... (maybe one changei think) takes bout 30 mins.... The train station is right by the entrance to disneyworld.... Out the station... ten steps and your at the entrance gate lol Getting around is easy and cheap, you can buy a ticket tht will get you on any buis or train for free..... there are so many stations and its so easy toplan around.... an interesting definition of free... HAHA you know what i mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 When I was an undergrad we had to go over to france for 6 weeks and we drove down, just to say if you do drive, don't bother with the motorways cos theyll cost ya, and theres usually a perfectly good N-road following alongside. Lovely country to drive through, as said, its just a shame about some of the people. But then, we're hardly one to talk, are we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squav Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I went Paris with school and looked round loads of landmarks, been up the eiffel tower, disney land, notre dame etc... Was proper good, I'd definitely go back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Been to the south of france a couple of times, St tropez mainly. Lovely place and even better food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt86 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 well where shall i start................. i have no clue! haha! been to Caen before, was nice around there, and then been to paris, whicih is a lovely place, although didnt venture far, as was in disney land one things for sure, french are stuck up there own arse! well the ones i seen lol Caen is not great imo, although its been about 8 years since I was there. French are only up their arse when tourists dont make an effort with the language etc... altho some of the coutnry bumpkins dont like foreigners but that happens here!Been loads of places in France and Provence and Brittany have been the best regions I have been to.. if you are driving Brittany is the closest by far! Rennes is good for food and shops. Closer to the ferries is Rouen... bit old and historic but good food and shops if I remember rightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 we drive to frane and we go for 24 hours only to shop we go to a place cald city europe in calais its a very big shopping center and it is lots of hotel in calais for £25 a nite Thats exactly what i do. But sometimes go for maybe 2 days. I usually stay at the Formula 1 hotel near the auchen supermarket then go to eastenders or one of those cash and carry booze wearhouses and fill the car. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h20/sutty2006/Picture042.jpg http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h20/sutty2006/Picture044.jpg Just fill the boot with booze.
