Delpech Travel has always been at the vanguard of offering great value short breaks on the internet. We’ve been arranging Eurostar and Eurotunnel breaks from the beginning and have well established relationships with the major ferry operators too. So we’re well placed to secure really competitive rates for our customers – whichever way you want to travel.

Additionally, by dealing with carefully selected hotels in key destinations we’ve negotiated significant reductions from public rates. If you call us, you’ll speak to real people who are happy to take the time needed to assist you - we have more than 180,000 satisfied clients, which we think speaks volumes!

If you’re looking to keep costs down, check for hotels with special offers, e.g. free nights, but ensure your arrival day applies. Try to avoid Eurotunnel or Ferry travel before 2pm from the UK and if you can, return before 1pm from the continent. If travelling with Eurostar, be aware that ticket prices can rise as trains fill, so book as early as possible and if you can be flexible with journey times that can help us find you better value seats.

For many British people staying in a French Chateau epitomises the ideal short break to take in France and with very good reason. Chateaux are often isolated in the French countryside, invariably family run, possess a smaller number of rooms to their hotel counterparts and therefore accommodate far fewer guests at one time. All of which allows the visitor a much greater opportunity to experience the real France. Many of our chateaux have fine restaurants and if you’d like us to make arrangements for your meals then please give us a call. We have endeavoured to select those that are within fairly easy driving distance from Calais. Try the Chateau Mont Royal, situated in the Chantilly forest just outside Paris, it has a delightful indoor swimming pool and comes highly recommended. Take a brief look at our photo's and you will quickly see why. The most impressive Chateau de Fere, with just 19 rooms, stands proudly on the top of a hill overlooking the valley below. Located just 30 miles from Reims, it makes for a good option if you wish to visit the Champagne area.
