Prices which include sea crossings and road tolls start from £41.00 return to Paris when booked in advance. You can also buy tickets on the day you travel or you might opt for flexible tickets which are amendable and refundable. Obviously, they cost more. Eurolines offer discounted rates for children, youth and senior.

You can choose Ferry or Eurotunnel sea crossings. You will be required to get off the coach and pass through border control on either side. The ferry takes between 75 and 90 minutes to cross the channel while Eurotunnel Le Shuttle takes just 35 minutes to reach France.

For those of you who live outside London, Eurolines has negotiated special 'add-on' fares with National Express service from around the UK to connect onto their Eurolines service in London. For example, the 'add-on' fare from Manchester is just £15 return to be added to your Eurolines return fare to Paris.

Up to 10 daily services run from Victoria coach station in London to their dedicated terminal at Gallieni in the east of Paris. If you wish to travel to other French cities you can stop in Paris or Lille railway station to connect with the fast TGV offering services to major cities like Lyon, Bordeaux and Strasbourg.

Coach journeys from London to Paris can take 9-10 hours but if you are on a a tight budget and have lots of time to spare then it is certainly the cheapest travelling option to Paris.
