Ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe
Newhaven to Dieppe is a handy, often-overlooked crossing that lands you in Normandy with a clear run towards Paris. At around four hours it’s longer than the Dover routes, but the port is quieter and the onward roads are good. A smart pick for Paris and eastern Normandy if you’re in the south east.
