    I would suggest National Express Coaches. It includes the ferryt and should drop you off where you want to be.I used them all the itime to go to germany, but i donot know what the prices are now…Good luck and have a good holiday…..Mum of 8

    Try ryanair.com or easyjet.com perhaps?! The will get you to France, not necessarily the part of France you are after though

    Well i hope you have a great holiday,

    it is a job to know what travel prices, are doing just now !

    If you are driving –
    Dover to Calaise Ferry ,is your shortest run , and therefore the cheapest route ,
    but driving all the way to Languedoc , is time consuming and tireing especialy with children .

    Flying is cheaper but you still need to travel on —- to your destination. ;

    Their railway system in France ,is good and efficient ( so that may be an idea ….)

    Some of the* package deals *
    you can get, are very good price-wise
    and include all types of travel to and from ( a graet help if you have children to go with )

    A good travel agent
    ,will also give you all the options ;
    That would be your best bet, IMO
    they will see to everything and consider,
    what price you can pay as well .
    ( they have some very good deals )

    Good hunting ==== Have a great holiday !

    I have travelled to France recently, i found that the best way to go is by train.

    If you follow the link below to Yahoo! Travel you can find out a lot of information and search for the best prices and the best ways to travel.

    i hope this helps.

    Hi

    I commute Languedoc London about 10 times per year.

    Cheapest I can find is by air.

    The way to get cheap tickets is :

    1)Book early
    2)Look for new routes – they are less full, so cheaper
    3)Avoid Thursday – Saturday for London – Languedoc
    4)Avoid Friday to Monday Languedoc – London
    5)Check regular flights too. Sometimes AF / BA have good prices
    6)Check some of the routes from smaller airports
    7)Some Spanish airports are close to Languedoc. They also benefit from cheaper car hire
