I've found it as quick to drive to Dover, take P&O and have breakfast
or lunch in Langan's Brasserie, and drive down the Autoroute towards
Rouen in recent years, when visiting glass works in the valley of the
Bresle.

The autoroute to Rouen is lovely, especially the "Aire de la Baie de
Somme", where we always stop, whether we need to or not! Imagine people
going to a service area in the UK if they didn't have to.....

But these days we always take the tunnel. Quite honestly, early
experiences on the Newhaven-Dieppe run have put me off ferries for life!

We've done Newhaven-Dieppe with the car. It was slower than it should have
been because they couldn't use the jetfoil but it was an OK crossing and a
lot shorter drive to where we were staying.
