Would also be interested in your opinions on ferry vs. eurtunnel for cost/comfort (not that I like long dark tunnels.... nor ships that make me go green either but I guess one of them is going to be necessary!)
try www.speedferries.com, they are fantastic value and only 50 mins. crossing from Dover to Boulogne.

You won't get far in two days. A lot of northern France is extremely tedious, flat & boring. Try to head for Brittany, wonderful coastline and great seafood! The downside is the weather can be very much like the West of Ireland.
Good luck!
