Paris Holidays by Rail

A cross the English Channel, only just over 2 hours by Eurostar from London, Paris is one of the top city destinations on the average travel bucket list. There are the famous sights like the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysées, the Palais du Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral. But, however many times you visit, there’s still more to be discovered in the City of Light from hilltop windmills to hidden markets and backstreet boutiques.
