Also was looking to go on the 14th , which is bastille day, Does anybody reccomend going on or near this date.

Bastille day is good for the parade and the fabulous fireworks. A bonus.

For such a short trip, I would not go to London at all.

If you must, take the Eurostar (fast train)

Forget the bus option - you would have to allow best part of a day: 2 hours from London to Dover, another 2 (allowing for check in) for the ferry and then about 3 from Calais to Paris.

The flight is only an hour, but you will have to get to the airport, hang around, and transfer from CDG or Orly into the city - I%26#39;ve never managed less than 4 hours travelling this way. (I can%26#39;t just turn up at the airport and walk onto the plane - I always allow too much time)

Eurostar departs from Waterloo station and will take you to Gare du Nord in under 3 hours. I think this is your best option.

www.eurostar.com is the link.
