France Ferries – Mothers day sparkle 

 

Make Mother’s Day Sparkle With Norfolkline’s Champagne Short Break Guide and Ferry Offer

5 March 2010


Award winning cross Channel ferry operator, Norfolkline, has introduced a special five-day return break in time for Mother’s Day this year for just £28 for a car and up to four people, if you travel on its Dover-Dunkirk route before Sunday 28 March.

And with the Champagne region at just two and a half hours from Dunkirk, why not give your mother a real treat this year at one of France’s best champagne houses?

Planning your journey couldn’t be easier with Norfolkline’s Champagne Motoring Tour Guide, where you will find all of the information that you could need, including advice on the best champagne houses to visit, vineyards to explore and the best places to stay.

Chris Newey, Norfolkline’s general manager for passenger services, said:

“Everyone wants to treat their mother to something special on Mother’s Day and a tour of the Champagne region in France is a great way to show your mum how much you care. Breaks range from a two-day short tour in the beautiful medieval cathedral city of Reims, to a longer five-day holiday of indulgence giving you time to visit the Champagne capital of Epemay where the Benedictine monk, Dom Perignon invented champagne.”

The Champagne region, which is made up of the Reims Mountain, the Marne Valley and the Cotes des Blances, produces some of the most expensive grapes in the world as the vines are trained to be short and produce quality grapes such as Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay. There are a total of eight champagne houses providing tours and 19 major champagne producing areas to visit where well known brands such as Tattinger, G.H. Mumm, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, Moet et Chandon and Dom Perignon can be found.

With Norfolkline’s fleet of modern vessels and fantastic onboard facilities, your short break will start as soon as you board the ferry.
