Bretagne Travel Forum

My boyfriends speaks NO french. But he needs a taxi from Dinard airport, to a campsite in Dol-de-Bretagne, around 50km.. so. How much roughly? and Will he be safe?

I can't tell you how much it would cost but if you say it is about 50km for the taxi driver that is 100km round trip, approx 65 miles. Fuel prices are not too different - could you ask a local Taxi driver for his rough estimate of the cost -bear in mind that if the journey will be very early or late that might incur a surcharge.

As for safety - we have been holidaying in France for over 40 years - your boyfriend should be perfectly safe. But it would help if he learned a few polite phrases
Bon jour = good day
Bon soir = Good evening
Merci beaucoup = Thank you very much
S'il vous plait =Please.

I think anyone who travels abroad should equip themselves with a basic phrase book and study the "get by" essentials.
After all would local English taxi drivers in Leeds be able to speak French?

the cost should be around 35-40 euros, and he will be as safe as you can be.
great backcountry area and those Bretons are nice folks. Have a crepe and cider!
