00:15there a multitude of ways. Last-minute Eurostar trips are expensive, sitting

00:20around £150 to £200 each way for the opening ceremony. Flights to Paris

00:32and Stansted as well. For Olympic fans taking a slightly more scenic route it's

00:38possible to drive via the ferry ports at Dover or even hop on the shuttle train

00:43from Folkestone. There only cars are charged and money could be saved per

00:48passenger although the drive down to Paris after may take a while. Travellers
