No bother
If in any doubt, and it was my choice, I'd head for the tunnel. With the added benefit of avoiding Stalingrad-on-Sea as Le Havre was once christened

Troyes is a bit of a drive? Like the idea of Millau bridge though

About 8 hours according to Google so might be a bit of a slog. Need to think about how far it is to Zeebrugge on the Monday.

...and the Gala meal which is now going to be held on the Friday in Spain and not the Saturday in France due to the long drive home:

Excuse me if this is already in hand but has any thought been given to decals commemorating the trip?
Maybe something to go in the rear quarter window?
I have no experience of arranging this sort of thing and fully understand if this has not been considered by the organisers what with everything else to arrange and a cracking good job Matt & others have done so far!t
Just a thought and happy to assist if others feel the same?

UPDATE:
Its been a week or so since the last update so here is where we are up to.
All hotels bar the final night are booked and paid for
The ferry is all booked and paid for
The Gala meal is booked and I will pay on the night. Its at the Atics and we have the terrace over looking the beach. The Gala meal will included, start, main, sweet and coffee, plus a welcome cocktail/drink on arrival and a bottle of wine between 4 a the table. Anything else will need paying for.
Catamaran is booked as I managed to get them down to €50 per head instead of €75 which is much more reasonable. This will consist of a 4 to 5 hour excursion, lunch/dinner and anchor off a private beach to swim or just relax. It does have 2 toilets on board also.
We have had to move the Gala meal once again to another day earlier so the Gala meal will be at 8pm on the Thursday we arrive in Lloret and the Catamaran trip will be 2pm on the Friday. I have to pay a minimum of €1500 or 30 people so if you drop out you still pay.
All payments will be taken from the reserve money you have already paid.
Final night, Saturday will be in France as we want to make the 800 mile trek home a bit less of a chore so current thoughts are to head up and over the Milau Bridge then stop, leaving a lesser journey to the ferries on the last day.
More to follow...

Flight purchased for Jeanette; £28 Ryanair, Stanstead 12.45 to Barcelona, no bag as I'll take that ahead with me. We are planning a week on the Med from the Sunday
Dan's Mrs will be on the same flight if she pulls her finger out!
