Rasputin

Got the Doofer last Thursday Morning. Full demonstration on how to attach it to the windscreen in French (that was fun) dodging the traffic was not!!!! came in very useful during Easter at the tolls worked a treat! thanks for your help. Rasputin

I'm travelling over via the tunnel on Wednesday.... where's the first stop a can buy one??? heading on the A16 then A28 to Rouen. thanks

I use to use the N138 / E402 from Rouen before the A28 opened,  pretty good and lots of places to have a break Rasputin  

Cancelled a return ticket last night for this Sunday, no problem. will get option to rebook Rasputin

If you go to the Eurotunnel website you can book 10 crossings for £390 (£39 each way) to be used any time of year the only restrictions are travel out after 3:00pm and return before 3:00pm any day and any length of stay. I'm on my second set, if you arrive earlier they always put you on the next available train. it's a very good deal   Ray

Dick, as you can see by the picture taken during my footballing days,  time has left its mark. Rasputin

Thanks for the advice but I made them myself!!! Rasp  

Where do Speed Ferries sail from and too? regards Rasp

we are just outside Gace, the wife and I have the same problem... find it very useful in the shops and supermarket we learn more in a day here that back in the UK Regards  

I do have a French bank account, so probably safer to use that for the payments... thanks for all your advice regards

Angela thank you very much, I will be travelling in France during the next few weeks and shall get one then. thanks again for your help.  

just a thought, ask pallet trasport companies for Groupage rates, they wait until they have a full load and charge much less, could take a few days or a week longer.  

Help please... where can I buy one of the Auto toll Badges to save long delays on the A28? and do you need a UK or French address? Thanks

Great Link Liz!!! Always used the used BBC Site but cut's off about Caen. Thanks, have saved it as a favourite

has anyone had  experience of employing staff in France? is it usual to offer a 6 or 12 month contract? or is there another system of employing people?

agreed... the views are stunning but it does encroach on previously unspoilt land and homes!!!

Back in the UK after trying out the new section of the A28 from Gace to Calais (via Rouen) no problem!! great time saver but be aware of the speed cameras on the stretch from Gace to Bernay (on the single lane section over the viaducts)    

[quote]Thanks Rasputin. It sounds easier than it looks on the map. I'll give it a whirl. Benjamin[/quote] your right, its not as bad as it looks I avoided it for ages but its clearly signposted to Calais even from the A13 Regards Rasputin  

[quote]Thanks Rasputin and Brian. By pointing me at Orbec are you suggesting that I join the A13 near Pont-l'Eveque and continue across the Pont de Normandie or have I confused you by putting Caen etc. when ...[/quote] Hi I travel the N138/A402 from Gace then join the A13 and trvel thro Rouen following the signs for Calais, after the tunnel you join the A28 Autoroute, as I understand it the the section from Gace to Rouen (A28) joins the A13 around junction 25 and you still need to travel thro Rouen as before to join the old section of the A28 th Calais (via the A16)    

[quote]We are going over to Normandy again sometime next week...Last time we visited (week ending 25th September) the autoroute seemed to be nearing completion. Any news? Has it...or part of it...opened to...[/quote] is there a junction near Orbec?
