Paris to Calais - Dover to Essex

My family and I are travelling from Paris to Essex to pick up a motorhome for the England leg of our trip.

We intend to take the ferry from Calais to Dover and would like some advise on bus/coach travel from Paris to Calais and Dover to Essex.

We are unable to hire a car because the day we are travelling is Sunday and all places are closed.

Your advise would be greatly appreciated.

There are 5 of us travelling (Dad, Mum and three kids over 14)

Kind regards

Helen Milne

Where in Essex are you trying to get to? It will help people to advise you.

I think it%26#39;s going to be a bit of a mess but SNCF French railways to Calais, dependant on your time you%26#39;ll either go via Lille and arrive in Calais Centre or there are trains direct but these come into to Calais/Fréthun.

If Calais centre there are busses to the port, if Fréthun you%26#39;re going to have to take a taxi

Then once in Dover it%26#39;s a bus to Dover Priory and then onto Essex probably via London.

Why don%26#39;t you just rent the car in Paris a day early i.e. the Saturday?

Or as pointed out in another post on this forum look at Eurolines as they run coaches from Paris to London cost is going to be about 34€ per person

Probably your best option
