We wanted to go to France by Euro Tunnel but found in a normal travel agents that the price was going to be about £200 ish. I decide to pursue my favourite hobby and surf the net to see if I could find something cheaper. I typed in Euro Tunnel and eventually came to WWW.drive-alive.com. What an excellent site it was. You can book to go by ferry or tunnel to either france, Holland,Belgium and Spain in your car, staying at their Hotels along the way. We thought we would stop at two hotels along the way as we had a long journey to the South of France. All you do is click on where you want your journey to begin, in which we picked Folkestone for the tunnel, then you click on Hotels. You have to have at least a stay for two nights minimus either one the way there or one going and one returning.
We decided to stay in Reims, the Lyon. The hotels were all ibis, the french chain. They were situated a bit too near the motorway , but were very clean and had ample facilities for an over night stay.
There were hotel vouchers sent with the receipts about three weeks before we went. Everything went to plan. The total price including three nights accomodation and return crossing were £268 which i thought was very good. The site is excellent and i phoned them to tell them that, the man was really friendly and thanked me for the comment. There really is an awful lot to this site, you can click on the country you want to visit then click on the hotel and view the pictures. You can also pick travel insurance. If you don't want to book a hotel you can book a self catering holiday which leads you to another site called interhome.co.uk.
I can't rate this site enough and will use it again next time we go to France.
