That’s close, but you can do it faster.
Google suggests it is 340km as the crow flies.
A legion could do (traditionally) a 36km march each day.
So that is 10 days.
Add a day to cross the channel (assuming fair conditions allow you to cross immediately) gives you 11 days on foot.
On horseback, probably half that.
It would be less than that, if you remembered that it’s faster to travel by river than by foot.
