Slipway is concrete, easy access, straight in from middle of the site. Moorings are either side and are for residents only. Leave your boat in for a couple of weeks.
Ref the journey we have 2 x small children (one only 6 x weeks) so will make a few more stops than most - I used to do it none stop in my youth, road trip style!
Our (relaxed) plan is:
Friday - Amble down to Dover from Midlands and stay over at the Ramada in Dover (£85 for family room) - secure parking with cameras, 10 mins from ferry port etc.
Saturday 08:00 Ferry - Calais at about 09:30 - Amble down to Lyon (Etap Hotel Macon Sud) for about 16:00 stay over - newly refurbished, modern rooms, cheap as chips, no idea on security of parking, taking chains/clamps etc
Sunday - 10:00 Amble on down to Frejus/site for about lunchtime.
You could easily do one stop at the Etap in Lyon, but its a holiday and we're chillin.
Might take some pictures and post them up here to help other out?
One good tip is to pick up a 'Toll charge card' so you dont have to stop/dick about with change etc. Surprising how much fuel it saves not having to stop/start a 3.5 ton boat/trailer/4x4 combination every few miles.
