When planning a holiday abroad, the first mode of transport that often comes to mind is flying.
This is particularly true for UK citizens, as the UK is an island nation with no direct land borders, making air travel a common and convenient choice.
However, if you’re planning on a European trip, you can actually drive from England to France via the Eurotunnel from Folkestone.
This makes the journey from London to Paris by car possible for any British motorist that has a valid UK passport.
The route from the UK’s capital to Paris may be a long one, but it's well worth it for those seeking the freedom of a road trip and the chance to explore scenic stops along the way.
