By Car

The best access to France is by Eurotunnel, which has regular (15-30 min. intervals typically) drive-on departures from Folkestone. It takes 35 minutes to Calais. Then the route is via Rouen, Chartres, Tours, Poitiers and Angouleme. Driving distance from Calais is 525 miles, of which more than half is dual carriageway. Typical driving time 8-9 hours from Calais, motorway tolls about £20.

We can provide recommendations for overnight hotel stops.

Travelling by Train

The simplest route is via Lille. Leave Waterloo at 8.21 am, arrive at Libourne at 17.28. Fares from £110 return. Very relaxing, great countryside to see, the French TGV trains are superb. Return leaving Libourne at 12.28, arriving London in the evening.

Alternative is via Paris, it's quicker, but involves a 30 minute underground trip. Opportunity to stay in Paris on either leg.
