Summer in Serre Chevalier can be exciting, filled with adrenaline sports, or chilled, calm and relaxing, the choice is yours.

We will be back to the Eurotunnel for the winter, having enough Tesco Clubcard deals for a couple of free crossings. Eurotunnel is great if you are travelling with your dog, as you [...]
