Can I travel out of France by Ferries?
212 of the Ferries routes we sell touching France cross a border and 1360 stay inside it, reaching 5 other countries including United Kingdom, Spain, Italy. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.
Which operators run Ferries services in France?
12 operators run Ferries services on routes we sell in France: Brittany Ferries, CMN, Corsica & Sardinia Ferries, DFDS, Grimaldi. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalog, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.
What is the longest Ferries route in France?
The longest Ferries route we sell touching France runs from Anglet to Bastia, 894 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 267 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.
Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
