India to France is a long road, virtually quite impossible to traverse. However, you can take a road trip to France from other nearby European cities. Buses, shuttles, cars, taxis and even bicycles run between these countries. The best route is between Kent in England and Calais in France. The French countryside is probably a different kind of beautiful than English countryside, and breathes with the sweetest of sighs of vineyards and olive trees as you go south.
