French Rail Guide

Eurostar

The Eurostar is a wonderfully stress-free way to travel from London to Paris or Lille, where you can then connect with a high speed TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) train to almost any city in France. Eurostar rates compare favourably to other transport methods, with London to Paris starting at £69 return and £109 return tickets available from London to Lyon. Moreover, with city to city connection, no departure taxes and no waiting around departure lounges, the whole experience is much more enjoyable than flying as well as being far kinder to the environment. Departures arenapproximately every hour during the day from St Pancras station and the journey time to Paris`s central Gare du Nord station is only 2 hours 15 minutes. Ticket options from Eurostar include single and return fares in either first or second class carriages as well as fully-flexible tickets that allow passengers to travel at any time.
