I'm so sorry I wasn't able to upload last week. Sadly I was sick the night I got back from France and couldn't edit it.
Anyway, we went to France for two weeks in our DIY Mercedes Vito camper van via ferry and it was so cool! It's the first time we've taken a van abroad and the first time taking Hans too :)
We spent the first week working our way from Calais to the west side to the Vendée and found a really cool campsite in some dunes and generally visited many places en route recommended by my in laws who used to live in Geneslay, Normandy.
Also, it's worth noting that after doing a lot of shopping around for the cheapest travel, we found Camping & Caravanning Club to be the cheapest as we were members: http://bit.ly/2eMokn2 They arranged it with P&O ferries, saving us an extra 10%
