Travel from Ireland

[Annesykes]

Anyone travelling to Brittany from Ireland all the year round?
Summer is fine (if expensive) plenty of routes from Dublin, Rosslare and Cork to Cherbourg and Roscoff.
Rest of the year what are the choices?
Via UK..... lots of driving from Holyhead to the ports.
Fly-drive.... Dublin-Stanstead-Dinard then hire a car

Any other suggestions from fellow islanders?

Our French neighbours were very excited to show us an article in the newspaper , reporting that a new route was starting , flying from the U.K. to Lorient , it turns out that this is from Galway to Lorient , may be of interest to all you folks over there ? we are in the south of Enland so ......, however perhaps this is the start of Lorient becoming a new destination , Southampton would be good.

Not sure about Ireland itself but found this in the magazine for Northern Ireland, some NI users may find useful:

EASYJET has announced the introduction of two new routes from BELFAST international airport direct to NICE and PARIS.

These new routes are part of a wider expansion by easyJets Northern Ireland base and are a direct result of the Air Route Development Scheme, the Northern Ireland Authorities initiative to improve the provision of air services in the province. The Paris flight, which commences 25 June, will run daily while the Nice flight, commencing 26 June, will operate four times a week. See http://www.easyjet.com for more information.

Landbridge is on option, go Dublin - Holyhead and then drive to Dover, its cheaper but tiring!
