Cheapest way to get to France this wkend?

Hi Guys,

I really really want to suprise my gf with a trip to Paris this weekend. I'm checking usual cheap websites (easyjet, ryanair etc), but the quotes are £££'s.

Travelsupermarket is coming up with cheap comparisons but then the prices increase when I click on the links. :(:(:(

I don't mind flying, driving or even getting a boat or similar. Basically I'm looking to get away tomorrow (anytime after 7pm) and come back anytime Sunday.

Also, can I drive in France if I take the car? I've been driving three years and am 23 next month.

Thanks for any help :beer: :beer: :beer:
£2 Coin Savings = £0.23:confused:

    Sorry, everything is top wack this weekend.

    We are going to Calais for 2 nights and the ferry has cost £135 and hotel £120.

    Try last minute and late rooms for hotels.

    Good Luck - hope u manage to get something!!

    Went onto their website, and it was 400 Euro's just to get to Paris :eek:

    I think £150 for the P&O is the safe/only/cheapest option

    https://www.speedferries.com will probably be faster and cheaper. I use them every time now.

    "SpeedFerries offers low cost tickets from £20 one-way on the all year Dover-Boulogne fast ferry service between Britain and France. "
  • yes speedferries are definately the cheapest, you can always go on the hostelworld website for accommodation, we found a fantastic hostel in valencia with all rooms decorated from different parts of the world, and the staff are so friendly.
