We booked last Thursday, Brittany Ferries fast service.
Portsmouth/Poole - Cherbourg
Thursday 10th @07.15
Monday 14th @11.15
£159 for a regular car.
Bargain, in my opinion.

Oooo, that is another option.

Thank you.
Le Mans is for the week......not just 24hrs!

Could one of the seasoned travellers confirm the journey times upon arrival in either Le Harve or Cherbourg to LM, we may switch from the Dover routes next year. ta muchly :)

Google says 3.5 hours from Cherbourg to LM and 2 hours 19 minutes from Caen.

In reality you COULD do it faster than that, but would you want to unless running late?

I favour an earlier arrival and a slow cruise down to LM unlike the last 2 years where it's been a blat down the A28 to arrive at a sensible hour.

From experience, thats about right, but do allow more time as
  • it can take 30 minutes to get off the boat
  • it takes 30 minutes to drive around Le Mans to get to the circuit
  • I usually spend an hour in Carrefour stocking up
  • you might stop for coffee/croissants/calvados etc
