Long way, is all I would say. Drove from Dublin to Paris via Uk, took approx 30 hrs. I honestly would fly.

Flight to Paris less than 2 hours, Going by Coach is madness unless you really dont like flying

Thats fair enough then workrider. Was in Paris with family last week, its a lovely city. If you havent been before you should spend a few days there and make a holiday of it.

Boat, train, Eurostar would be the way to go if you can't face flying.

I have been a couple of times, got into the owners and trainers or what ever the VIP section is called both times, affordable trips too though it seems to been more expensive now than when Dalakani and Sakhee won their races.
