Flights at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle Airport have also fallen by 40 percent because of snowfall in northern France.
“Heavy snowfall and extremely cold temperatures are causing disruption to travel in France,” a FCO spokeswoman said.
“The French authorities have informed us that they are preventing all HGVs and coaches from using the roads in northern France and the greater Paris area, and that car travel is unadvisable in the area.
“Air and rail services are also affected and you should contact your travel operator or airline before starting your journey.”
She added: “Coaches arriving in Calais are currently being held on arrival until French road restrictions are lifted.
“Travellers should check what arrangements their travel operators are making for passengers being stopped in Calais, before they travel.
“Foot passengers should be aware that onward travel from Calais is difficult and accommodation in the Calais area is likely to be fully booked.”
A spokesman for National Express said all trips between London and Paris have been suspended because French police would not allow coaches to pass through Calais.
The earliest possible departures to France will be on Monday.
