By Ferry.
This is still the most popular method for those coming from the
UK or Eire with their car. The nearest ports to us are Roscoff
and St. Malo; both of which are less than
two hours away. Caen is a little over three hours
and Cherbourg is getting on for four hours. Other
ports are further with the Chunnel being over seven hours. More
if you make stops and in High Season.
If you are coming from the north of England or Scotland, then the
long haul ferries from Hull or Rosyth may make sense. Somewhere
along the line, you have a long drive in front of you. Perhaps it
is better our side of the Channel where the roads are less crowded
and petrol and diesel are a lot less expensive.
We
can help with less expensive ferry fares.
We can often beat the on-line discount sites. Please ask for details

By Air.
More and more people are choosing to fly. Our nearest airports are
St. Brieuc (less than an hour away), Lorient
(about an hour), Rennes and Dinard
(both around the hour and a half mark). Brest an
hour forty five) and Nantes (around two hours driving
time).
Alamo,
Auto-Europe, Avis, Europecar, Hertz, Sixt and Thrifty
all exist in France, so you may be able to arrange for a hire car
to be waiting for you through your local offices. However, the downside
of this is that what you may save on the one hand you lose in terms
of cheap wine on the other. Hover

By
Road
If you are coming to us from mainland Europe, then it is obvious
to bring your car.
From
the UK and Eire, it may be worth your while exploring all
the options, although if you are three or more adults, the
ferries may still be the best.
From anywhere
else, we seriously suggest you leave your car at home!
