Apparently, haven’t tried or researched it myself, but with some of the ferry companies websites its cheaper if you book via their French site!!! Coz us Brits like paying more?

Anybody tried it?

Obviously the site will be in French, but perhaps it may work okay via a translation site providing they don’t use too many graphics.

I believe you're right Steve about it being cheaper to do the crossing with the first leg from France. This has come up before (I can't remember where) and I think the problem comes when you come to pay.
If you pay by Credit Card doesn't it show you are a Uk resident. Something triggers them into knowing and stopping the sale.

We go 3 times a year and have certainly thought about buying our first trip as an open ticket. We would then book two return visits to the Uk when in France using the open ticket to make the final return.

In the end we took the easy way out again.
