Are reservations for foot traffic on ferries important? If so,how far in advance is recommended?
We are traveling between June 5 and 7.
Thanks!

So you plan to depart from St. Malo, France on ferry to St. Helier, Jersey, is that right? As foot passengers I'm guessing it's not strictly necessary to book far ahead, but you are going from one country to another. Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to book, say, two weeks ahead?
The thing about channel ferries is that they sometimes get canceled, either for weather or labor dispute or boat repair. Even if you have a confirmed reservation, stay in touch with the ferry company on the day of departure in case of any last-minute changes.
When you leave Jersey are you returning to France or going onward to the UK? (Just curious; I don't think it affects the answer to your question.)
