I'm seriously considering putting our car on the train, at least one way down to the Cote D'Azur next year. Has anyone here done this?
Think they stopped that service some years ago , may be better to use TGV down as passengers and then hire once there ... my plan B when the drive down becomes too problematic in my dotage
How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
They tend to go for trucks going into the UK, for some reason they don't want to stay in France or mainland Europe. I can see why you were confused driving a car into Europe.
I can see you are confused by your hatred of all foreigners, but as has been pointed out on this thread:
A few years ago I was making the journey regularly (when the refugees used to get mentions in the Daily Mail every day). I saw a few migrants at the side of the autoroute near the tunnel - maybe 3 or 4 each journey, but generally the police moved them on.
They were not interested in cars and not interested in anything heading away from the port.
Strangely enough, the migrants did not become invisible to car drivers and only visible when lorries went past on the same road as the cars.

If I'm going to hire when there I may as well fly the family down.

sorry did I not immediately reply to your post and then preferred Barmies, I can see you feel hurt, lets have a moment for your feelings.
As the way of getting onto lorries is different to the ways of getting onto cars it makes sense that yes they can be invisible to cars as they aren't where cars are. But they are visible and still coming - in the last month:
They seem to have moved to Dunkirk because what we are doing at Calais seems to be working.
Key thing is we are still spending significant amounts trying to keep them out and a number are getting through.
Obviously all these videos & reports are fake news because you can't deal with them.
I don't quite understand how you think disliking law breakers = disliking foreigners.
I am worried do you think all law breakers are foreigners or vice versa in which case you probably need help!
