TRAVELLING
TO FRANCE from the UK
and Ireland
France
is a country that is easy to reach. Travellers
from
Britain who
don't
want to drive can fly to a choice of destinations throughout the country;
but if
you want to take a ferry or the
Eurotunnel
Shuttle and then drive, do
not underestimate the time needed to reach your destination, once you
reach French soil. From Calais to the furthest regions of the south of
France can be more than twelve hours' drive.
