England It is one of the favorite countries of Spaniards when it comes to going abroad, mainly to get to know London, its capital and one of the most interesting and complete cities in the world. The other day I was telling you that you can travel by boat to England from Santander or Bilbao, a trip that hardly lasts 18 hours and that is like a mini cruise. Today I will tell you how to do it from France, since many people prefer to go to the neighboring country by car and then travel to the UK.
Below I will detail the route you must follow to traveling from France to England by car:
- Our destination in France will be Mirepoix. We will put as origin the Mediterranean Highway at the height of Terrasa, in Catalonia, since you will know how to get there easily. In Terrasa, take the direction of Puigcerdá and cross the French border through Bourg-Madame, from there you will arrive in Mirepoix, a beautiful medieval town where I recommend you take a walk because there are very interesting things and so you will rest a little from so much car.
- From Mirepoix you must go to Chateau de Locguénolé (Henebont, Bretagne Sud), there are about 800 kilometers and you will pass through well-known French cities such as Toulouse, Burdeaux and Nantes before reaching your destination, a beautiful place that I also recommend you stop to know. There you should go to a restaurant in a castle that has spectacular views of a lake.
- From Henebont go to him Saint-Malo port, 200 kilometers away, heading towards Lorient. This port is where you will take the boat that will take you to the English town of Poole. It's a five-hour journey and you have bars and leisure activities, although those hours will come in handy for you to rest.
This is only one of the multiple routes that exist. Another very interesting one is the one you can do, also with the car, but taking the train (you can take vehicles) that crosses the English Channel. Another day I will tell you about him.
