GETTING HERE  -  Ferries and Flights

Discount Travel
Because we advertise our properties with Chez Nous we are able to offer our visitors access to their travel service which provides very competitive rates. When you book one of our cottages we will give you a reference number for the travel service.    You may also find a good offer on Ferry Savers

Ferries/Eurostar
The various ferry options are shown in the table below.   For those who prefer Eurostar the car journey from Calais, via toll autoroutes, is approx 7 hours.   You might like to consider the possibility of a stop-over in Paris or a visit to Disneyland Paris as some of our previous visitors have done and then use the TGV high speed train direct to Surgeres.
