HOLIDAYS BY RAIL
With the Channel Tunnel and the fast Eurostar train , the whole of France and indeed the rest of Europe have been opened up . In addition to being able to travel from the centre of London to the centre of Paris on the same vehicle in three hours , you can use the excellent French railway network to travel from London to Bordeaux , Nice , Avignon and elsewhere in one day , with good connections and a smooth , fast journey . Eurostar operate trains from London to Paris and from Paris to London with almost hourly departures every day .
We are able to offer a range of ways in which you can benefit from this network
1 . EUROSTAR London to Paris for a city break . Prices for our Paris hotels by Eurostar are in the price leaflet . This fare is based on our contract fare being available . If not , a supplement will be quoted .
2 . EUROSTAR London to Paris or Lille Europe and beyond , connecting to the fast French TGV services . Perhaps to Nice and our hotels in Nice itself or on the Côte d ’ Azur where you don ’ t need the use of a car .
3 . EUROSTAR London to Paris or Lille Europe and beyond , by TGV to all regions of France and then collecting a hire-car to take a holiday in one , two or more of our hotels . Almost all parts of France can be reached in a day via Paris or Lille so that you can start your first night at your holiday hotel .
We price all holidays by rail based on our contract fare with French Railways , or the best fare available at the time of booking . Bookings can only be made 4 months prior to travel for Eurostar and 3 months prior to travel for other French rail services . We would then take the best fare available and work out a supplement over and above the price for the fly-drive holiday to the hotel you want . If you want the hire-car included , or if you want something completely tailor-made , we would price it for you from scratch .
