A new ferry service from Dover may help boost property in Normandy by making access across the Channel even easier.

LD Lines has announced that its ferry, the Seven Sisters, will operate a daily service from the Kent port to Dieppe in northern Normandy.

The service, which will start in February, will be able to carry both freight and tourist traffic, with as many as 600 passengers and 300 cars travelling in one sailing.

Such a connection could help increase investment in Normandy property, particularly in the Dieppe area, as it will make it easier to reach that part of the region and could help bring in more tourists who may wish to rent such property on a buy-to-let basis.

LD Ferries already operates services to ports in Normandy, including Dieppe.

The existing service to the port runs from Newhaven, while Le Havre is served by ferries from Portsmouth and Rosslare in the Republic of Ireland.
