Dreaming of traveling to Ireland to explore its magnificent coastlines and wild landscapes? The good news is that reaching the Emerald Isle from France is relatively straightforward.

Travelers have two main options for getting to Ireland: flying or taking the ferry. Which one should you choose?

Flying to Ireland

Flight is undoubtedly the fastest and most comfortable way to reach Ireland, though it is also the most expensive option. From France, you can fly into one of Ireland's many international airports: Dublin, Belfast, Londonderry, Cork, Knock, Galway, Waterford, and Shannon.

From Paris, flights to Dublin typically cost between €130 and €250 for a round-trip ticket. Budget airline Ryanair offers competitive pricing with fares under €100 (though this excludes baggage allowances and other extras). The flight takes approximately 1 hour 40 minutes to reach Ireland. Most French airports have connections to the island, making it easy to find a flight that suits your travel plans.

Taking the Ferry to Ireland

Another option for traveling to Ireland is the ferry. This choice requires more time, as the crossing typically takes between 15 to 20 hours depending on your departure port.

Ferry tickets generally cost between €50 and €100. Choosing to take the ferry to Ireland is an excellent idea if you wish to embrace slow tourism, take your time, and savor the fresh sea air.
