Paris and London are both countries that have hosted two Summer Olympic Games. Although the modern Olympic Games were put forward by the French, the prosperity after the industrial revolution in Britain and France is the basis for the revival of the modern Olympic Games. 1890, the Frenchman Coubertin, the father of modern Olympics, came to March Wenlock, England to talk with Dr. Brooks about "sports" and "Olympic revival", which finally inspired Coubertin and led to the first modern summer Olympic Games being held in Athens, Greece on 1896.

There are two ways to cross the English Channel: the most traditional way is to take a sea ferry, which takes 1.5 hours and takes 38 times a day. The price varies according to the date and the size of the vehicle, and the average price ranges from 60 to 65,438+0,000. The second way is to take the cross-harbour tunnel for 35 minutes.
