Recommended name for "Calais Ferry Port" for driving directions?

Question

Hi,

I am trying to get directions from near Paris to the car ferry at Calais using ViaMichelin, but when I type in the destination as "Calais ferry port" it dverts me to some random street called Rue Jules Ferry.

Does anyone know what I could type to get me the direct and correct directions to the Calais car ferry?

Answer 1

Hi, try "gare terminal est". It's hard to see how the road system on the viamichelin map equates to the ferry port, but this will take you to the right area and once you get close the ferry terminal is very well signposted, so just follow the signs.

Answer 3

you have to go to Calais anyway  and there is a main route along the coast and the car ferry port is well signposted so my advice is just enter Calais ....the port is all part of the city ....you could also type Dover as your destination

Answer 4

Calais alone should be enough, the ferry port is signed from all approach roads in english!

Answer 5

try a16 or a26
