Driving time is approximately 4.5 hours from Caen, 5 hours Le Havre/St.Malo, and 8 hours from Calais/Boulogne.
Although the cheapest crossings are from Dover, it is well worth considering the overnight crossing (with a cabin) from Newhaven to Dieppe with LD Lines which is a cheaper option, or a crossing with Brittany Ferries to Caen.
This reduces the overall driving time in the UK for many people, and cuts costs on fuel and tolls on this side of the channel. Having slept on the ferry you will be less tired for the shorter drive in France and can arrive feeling ready to enjoy your holiday !
Best driving route from Calais/Boulogne follows Rouen/Le Mans/Tours/Poitiers avoiding Paris !
