Travel to France
France is our nearest and most accessible continental European neighbour, and there are many ways to travel there. If you would like to travel by air, we are able to book your flights for you in most cases, subject to a booking fee. Please be aware that the full flight cost is generally due at the time of booking. Please call us to discuss your requirements and to make your flight booking.
As an alternative to air travel, we have listed the main ferry/self-drive routes to our French destinations. Many routes are seasonal, and therefore operate during the main summer months only. We make every effort to keep this page up to date, but all schedules and routes are subject to change and are provided for guidance only. We regret that we're currently not able to book any ferries or trains to France, therefore please contact the relevant operator directly to make your reservations.
