How can I take my bike to France?
Taking your bike to France is easy. On the day of your crossing, arrive 45 minutes to 1 hour ahead of the shuttle’s departure time at the pick-up/drop-off points mentioned below. There are set local times for this, so be sure you arrive at the right one. You will be collected by a minibus, which will take you to the terminal and onto the shuttle as you cannot travel by bike alone on the shuttles.
