Costs
Costs will depend to some extent on the method
chosen to cross the Channel, and have increased
somewhat since original plans were mooted due to
increase in hotel charges arising from demand.
However, the basic costs for accommodation with
breakfast and 1 night’s dinner, travel, and visit to
Champagne Mercier with tasting should be in the
region of £285.
