Calais
Ah well, it depends. Currently, P&O Dover-Calais are running the cheapest day trips, Norfolk Line Dover-Dunkerque the cheapest advance-booked 5-day trips. But all fares vary literally from hour to hour. Dover-Calais with P&O or SeaFrance, of Dover-Dunkerque with Norfolk Line are the cheapest routes.

They took a ferry between Dover, England and Calais, France, both of which had rail links by the mid 19th century. The "Golden Arrow" was a combined train and ferry route that connected Paris and London, by way of Dover and Calais.
The quickest way to get to France would be by Train via the Chanel Tunnel, or by a fast Ferry that operates between March until October from Portsmouth to Cherbourg. If you live be Dover, the Dover to Calais ferry would be an option too. I have also found a flight listed from Bristol to Dinard Airport. I hope this has helped you.
