Put some fizz into the festive season with Brittany Ferries' French bubbly bargains

Put some fizz into your festive season with a Brittany Ferries cross-Channel shopping trip this year!

French supermarkets' champagne prices are way below those here in the UK, and Brittany Ferries November-to-March low-season fares – starting from less than £75 return for a car and two passengers – make the bubbly bargains even better.

At the top end of the price scale, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, averaging £22.99 in UK shops, costs just £14.34 in Carrefour– a saving of £8.65 a bottle.  Buy a case, and the ferry crossing's paid for!

There are massive hypermarkets in and around Caen, Cherbourg and St Malo – all ports served by Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth.

But the savings aren't restricted to festive fizz – wine and beer prices are lower, too - with some fabulous prices on board as well. Two litres of Gordon's gin, Bailey's Irish Cream, or Smirnoff premium vodka can be had for only £20; and if you buy 4 cases of Stella Artois, you get one free – equivalent to only £9.41 per case. What's more, Brittany Ferries takes all the effort out of buying by delivering to your car on board!

Portsmouth is only 78 miles from the centre of London and is easily accessible, being well served by excellent roads.

Brittany Ferries operates three routes to Normandy and Brittany from Portsmouth, all with frequent sailings: Portsmouth-Caen, Portsmouth-Cherbourg, and Portsmouth-St. Malo.
