Take a ferry to France for a memorable motoring holiday

People with a passion for cars and motorsport can take ferries to France this year for a driving holiday in the Alsace region, which is reportedly becoming increasingly popular among keen motorists.

The Alsace Tourist Board described the area in eastern France as a "hidden secret" full of quiet roads that provide access to vineyards, medieval villages, castles and other sights.

Visitors might also be interested in learning about the history of Bugatti, which made its first cars at the Molsheim plant near Strasbourg.

Mulhouse is home to Cite de l'Automobile, which houses a prestigious collection of automobiles including two Bugatti Royales and a range of Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Maserati and Maybach models.

Travellers can reach eastern France via the Dover to Calais ferry route, which is served by P&O and SeaFrance, while Norfolkline provides ferries from Dover to Dunkerque.

People planning to visit in October will have the opportunity to see the annual Rallye de France, which will be taking place outside Corsica for the first time this year.

There are also many culinary experiences on offer in Alsace, which is home to more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other region in France outside Paris.

Other travel options for holidaymakers heading to France include LD Lines' ferries from Dover to Boulogne and the Brittany Ferries service from Portsmouth to Caen.
