Has anyone travelled by car to france form ireland via ferry?

armabelle

There is a Ferry that goes from Dublin to France that we are thinking of taking to get to the European mainland this summer. Has anybody done this trip before and do you have to book a hotel on the ferry or is that optional?

Also, has anybody driven a right-hand-drive car over in europe? Is it weird due to driving on the other side of the road or can one adapt quite quickly?

Once the ferry has pool tables you won't notice the time going by.

Don't really understand your theory but OK. Glad to hear I can afford such luxury as you know what they say about time..

Why not fly to France and rent a car, with steering wheel on the European side

Do they still do Bingo on that ferry?

Driving on the right is ok, just be carefull turning out onto empty roads as instinct can take over. The busier the better.

I used to find exiting, car parks, petrol stations etc. the worst. When you just don't think. Unlike say roundabouts or busy roads where people focus.

Saw a head on collision once on a road in Kerry where a tourist just pulled straight out of a junction into an oncoming truck on the tourist's wrong side. Shocking sight.

Nekarslum is right about avoiding the perilous journey to Wexford.

We attempted it a few years ago and never again, I kid you not but along parts of the N11 the locals were still living up in the trees like savages, it was awful so we turned back to the safety of the M50.

Wonderful use of sarcasm - not something that comes across well in text sometimes.

The thoughts of that boat journey- urgh

but the service has been running for some time, surely it is used quite often?

I'm with Brian.

No one has done this voyage. If it helps, the Victorians always brought a writing desk, an army of natives and crates of claret.

It saves driving to wexford, but it seems to be less comfortable than the Oscar Wilde. Six of one, half a dozen of the other..

The whole thing is a facade, no one really goes, the ferry just sails out, hangs about for a day or two and comes back.

Infact, I read online that mainland Europe doesn't even exist.
