Brittany Ferries plans increased service to France

Brittany Ferries plans increased service to France

Can't see the prices going down, even if Brittany Ferries take up the slack.

P&O Ferries close routes to France

BBC NEWS | Business | P&O to slash workforce by 1,200

The group announced the closure of four of its 13 ferry routes and cut eight ships from its fleet. Three of the four routes on the firm's Western Channel service will go - from Portsmouth to Cherbourg, Le Havre and Caen.

I really hope this does not reduce the number of visitors to France, but I have a feeling that prices may rise with the reduction in competition. Not good news for us.

We have heard on the grapevine from a Brittany Ferries employee in France that BF are going to buy the two biggest P&O boats. Not sure which route tho'.

These are our experiences of running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. This is our fourth season (2006) and we are looking forward to the summer. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, schooling etc. Stay tuned.
