France Via The Eurotunnel With A Motorhome | Euro Trip 2018 Pt5

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

In our 2018 Euro Trip we travelled to France from Black Horse Farm Caravan and Motorhome Club Site via the Eurotunnel or le Shuttle and this video diary is a look at the arrival, checking in, passport control, checking the gas bottles, boarding the train and arriving in France. The Tunnel crossing in 2018 was around £230 return. The train journey is 35 minutes. As this was filmed in September 2018 the cost will be different now. Also it depends when you travel, your type of vehicle and how many passengers and dogs etc. The up to date prices are on the EuroTunnel web site on the Tickets and Fares page. We booked the tickets in advance. We did do a video review of all the costs on the tour here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJuZhJ2PlKpmesU

wow...the entrance to the facility was endless, complex, and nerve-racking! so many lane changes and guards and signs and opportunities to get on the train upside down and backwards! glad you made it.

Yes! I wonder who came up with that design - and who approved it?

Remembered my days in Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands by seeing the nature, roads and traffic. Gone are those days.

Hi. Love this trip. I used to go to France as a kid pre-tunnel days. I was always so excited! Just quietly, if it's light in the UK it'll be light in France! They're an hour ahead, but the sun reaches them first, no matter the time!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you

[@bixrog]

OK about you using the tunnel. We have used the tunnel and the ferry and also the hovercraft when it was running many years ago. Where we live near Düsseldorf we go through Belgium through the Kennedy tunnel at Antwerp.. Many years ago before the motorways was finished to Calais we used to have to go up to Ostend on the motorway and then do about 40 miles along the coast road to Calais....it took ages !!!!. Safe travels .

Hi Guys thanks for taking the time to video this, it was really useful as we've been across in the car many moons ago and I forgot how much room was in the actual train as we are planning a trip to France in our motorhome so it was nice to see that there's plenty of room inside.

Yes, we will definitely use the Tunnel next time.

That's very unfortunate. Here in Australia they're encouraging people to do road trips, seeing as we can't travel overseas. Problem is our state borders open and close with COVID restrictions every other day. We can go on a long road trip without leaving our state, as it's 7x the size of GB.

What an extraordinarily informative video! As a veteran of the Holland tunnel (under the Hudson River from New Jersey into lower Manhattan) I had no idea of what a long leisurely trip there would be across pastoral coumtryside.
