Travelling to France
|
Why fly when you can drive?
Driving is by far the most flexible option, where you
are in control of your own timetable, can take as
much luggage as you need (including sport &
leisure equipment at no extra charge), stop en route
as and when you choose and maybe visit a little
vineyard on the way through Burgundy. You can also
stay in more than one resort and take day trips to
areas of interest, while maximising your leisure time
in the resort.
Because we have negotiated great prices with the
ferry companies and Eurotunnel we are able to offer
the best value for money possible.

schedule.
For independent travellers we can offer
accommodation-only bookings. Most of our resorts are
close to the international airports of Geneva,
Grenoble, Chambery, Lyon or Turin (see our airlines
and car hire companies sections).
We can also arrange competitive car hire.

New this year, all our inclusive holidays now include
a return
Eurotunnel crossing with a car with a FREE FlexiPlus
upgrade giving you not only the
complete flexibility to travel on the next available
departure (whenever you turn-up) but also dedicated
Check-In lane, priority boarding and use of the
dedicated lounge facilities with complimentary
facilities (cars below 1.85m high only). Some
supplements for peak dates apply, please see below.
Crossing time is 35mins, with up to 4 departures per
hour. IMPORTANT: LPG vehicles not permitted

The benefits of FlexiPlus
Flexibility
Relax and enjoy your journey without having to worry
about arriving on time for your departure. Leave from
home or from the resort when you are ready and avoid
the stress of having to meet a particular departure.
Priority Check-in
Enjoy use of exclusive Check-in booths/lane where you
will be offered the next available departure (4 per
hour during most of the day).
Priority Boarding
Once you are in your designated FlexiPlus lane, you will be
boarded on the next shuttle ahead of other
passengers. Remember, first on, first off and
onwards to your destination.
Designated parking place
If stopping off for a bite to eat or last minute
shopping then you are entitled to park in the
designated spaces close to the Passenger Terminal
Buildings.
The FlexiPlus
lounge
The lounge opens 06.00 to 22.00 daily, offering you
complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and light meal.
Relax in comfortable surroundings with a free
newspaper (one per car) or take advantage of
telephone/fax/internet access facilities. There is a
small shop for any last minute purchases. On your
return enjoy the French FlexiPlus lounge; shop for
alcohol and confectionery at fabulous French prices.
Due to safety regulations of the FlexiPlus lounge parking area,
vehicles over 1.85m high are not permitted to access
the lounge facilities (but you can still benefit from
all the other benefits).
FlexiPlus fares cost
several hundreds £ when booked direct with
Eurotunnel, so we are extremely pleased to have
negotiated such great deal for you.
