Re: CDG to Calais with dog, help?
 

Yean thats true it is just a short flight. If it comes to it and getting myself back is going to be too difficult then im sure i can convince someone to come and get me, i would just rather make my own way back if possible. Getting someone to pick me up in the uk will be no problem.
Will have to have a look at the foot passenger rule on the ferry in relation to bringing dogs on.

This is just one of the ferries between Calais and Dover:

If you don't read French, the gist is that dogs must stay in the owner's car during the crossing, and only guide-dogs can be taken by pedestrians and coach travellers.
Sorry to be such a wet-blanket, but fore-warned is fore-armed!;)

Just a thought but have you thought about arriving in CDG and then giving the dog to an animal transportation company? I used Goldenway at goldenwaypets.com and they were fantastic. The have an office at CDG. I dealt with Colette who was great. They have a lot of expertise and my animals all travelled well and stress free, as thank heaven was I. Good luck.

That's a tough one, I think the best solution is to rent a car and take the channel tunnel as you'll be able to stay in the car with your dog. I took my lab across via ferry and was a little worried about leaving him alone in the car.
Wish you the best x

Re: CDG to Calais with dog, help?
 

:blink:Surely this idea is a non-starter, given that we understand that the OP's final destination from China is UK (flying via Paris due to cost saving - dog flies as excess baggage etc).
I've never heard of a Hire Car company that would allow you to take a car the other side of the channel without returning it.
Ok, even if one did find a company - 'rentaépave?':blink: - that hires a car for both-way channel trips (unlikely) and one could return it later, the OP would then have to fly back to UK.
Or hire another car......:p

Re: CDG to Calais with dog, help?
 

No, the dog would be in the UK, so the OP could take the ferry back as a pedestrian....
(Sorry to tease, Burbur, I for one am enjoying a glass or two of rosé (despite the perishing cold outside). Hope you find a solution to your problem....:fingerscrossed:)
