Hi Jack

There is a train every hour through the tunnel and there are no problems getting on.

We used the Campanile hotel in Saint Jean de Luz just over the border in France and the Ibis Budget in Abbeville.  Both were practically empty and both were dog friendly, we had our two with us.  You will probably need to ring them direct to check that they are still open.

As far as facilities, there are none. Nothing at all in the hotels but supermarkets are still open and some shops at the motorway services.  Nothing open at the Tunnel.  On the plus side, the roads are quite empty and travelling is easy and fast.  Don't forget to download your form for crossing the border into France from our Government website.

Good luck!!

Hi we both sat in the front as the car was full and had the dogs in the back, driving through Spain we didn’t see any police stopping anyone, same with France

We just drove to Alicante today. My passenger sat on the opposite side rear. We were questioned at a petrol station past Granada by 2 Guardia Civil. My marginal Spanish was good enough to explain we were returning to our home country. I guess they saw the Austrian plates and didn’t check passpo...
