Creator's Key Takeaways

I think that was 1,000% worth it

this is incredible value

the ferry alone costs a third more than this whole journey which includes it so I think that is crazy

if you're on a budget I think that the daytime coach is great

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't get a taxi when you first arrive in Paris as they will rip you off
Book the Club Lounge on the ferry if you want included food and drink
Adjust your watch for French time when crossing the channel

Join Rosie on a solo adventure from London to Paris by coach with Flixbus. This cross-channel coach is the cheapest way to travel between the British and French capitals. If you are on a budget, or just fancy an adventure, this video is for you! From Victoria Coach Station, we travel down to the ferry Port of Dover. From here, there is chance to look around the P&O Ferries, Spirit of France before hopping back on the bus to travel down to Paris itself.
