By Train:

Eurostar - London Waterloo to Paris. Then go down the steps to the Metro, it's one line (with 5 stops) to Gard Austerlitz where you get on direct line train to Chateauroux. Ask RailEurope for a quote. It's about £200. We can collect you from the station at no extra charge.

By Car:

Ferries: The cheapest is either Speed Ferries Dover to Boulogne (£29 single) or Norfolk Line Folkstone to Dunkirk (£36 single).

Tunnel: Dover to Calais from £100 return. Contact Eurotunnel for a quote. www.eurotunnel.com

It takes 6.5 to 7 hours from Boulogne. 5.5 to 6 hours from Le Havre or Dieppe. 7 to 7.5 hours from St. Malo. If travelling from Calais or Boulogne - don't go via Paris - go via Rouen, Dreux, Chartres, Orleans. It is just as quick and less stressful.

It will cost around 20€ toll fees travelling via autoroute from the north. From St Malo, there are no tolls (not that I know of, anyway!).

Directions from Chateauroux will be issued after booking. If you want to extend your holiday and have a night-stop on the way or way back - we recommend Hotel B&B and Formule1 as two very economical, clean and comfortable options. You can easily book online.
