BY EUROSTAR AND THE CHANNEL TUNNEL

If you don't like flying and you are not a good sailer perhaps the channel tunnel would suit you better.

The crossing from Folkstone to Calais only takes 35 minutes and is a very reasonable price for a car and passengers. 

Take the motorway to the south west towards Brittany and Rennes.
The road system here is excellent with motorway and dual carriageway the majority of the journey
