Getting to France
Road, rail and air are all possible options to get to France, so which one is for you?
Eurostar
The very cool, and functional way to get from city centre to city centre, the Eurostar whisks you through the England and French countryside into Gare du Nord in as little as 2 hours 30 minutes, as you sip on your French wine and tuck into the latest binge watch on Netflix. Lille and Disneyland® Paris are also great options by Eurostar.
Flying
Depending on where you live and where you're travelling can influence whether you fly to France or not. If you're outside of the south east of England, you might find that flying is the better option, otherwise you'll be travelling through the UK first. If it's the south of France or the central west region, flying can also be a good choice, with direct flights from the UK into places like Nice, Marseille and Bordeaux making the journey just that little bit quicker than driving or the train.
Eurotunnel & Ferry
If you're after exploring by car, taking the Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais, or the ferry from either Dover to Calais or the south coast of England to ports including Caen, Cherbourg and Roscoff, make these the best options. While travelling by car can take longer, it can also be cheaper and allow you to take home comforts, as well as simply enjoying the drive.
