If your planning on taking your car from Dover over to France then you only currently have the choice of 2 ferry operators and 2 destinations in France to choose from.
The well known Dover to Calais Ferry connection is now only operated by P&O Ferries since French rival operator SeaFrance went into adminstration at the end of 2011. In addition to Dover to Calais you can also take your car from Dover to Dunkirk and this route is operated by DFDS Seaways (Norfolkline).

The Dover Dunkirk route takes 30 minutes longer than the Calais crossings, but since it is a less busy port at Dunkirk you find it a much easier way to travel and the price of the crossing is usually cheaper.
Dunkirk (Dunkerque) is approximately 30 miles east of Calais and if you’re final destination is Belgium or anywhere east of Calais then the Dover Dunkirk ferry will get you closer to your destination and can actually make your overall journey quicker and more relaxing.
Foot Passengers - If you are not travelling in any kind of vehicle (that includes bicyles) then you will be classed as a foot passenger and in this case you only have the option of the Dover to France ferry crossing from P&O as Norfolkline do not offer a service for foot passengers on their routes.
Whatever you choose you can be assured of a pleasurable 90-120 minute sailing.
