Experience the Best of France Train Travel

France is a country brimming with beauty, and one way to take it all in is by train. The country’s extensive rail network makes it easy to get around, and there are plenty of scenic routes to enjoy. Whether you’re looking to explore the picturesque countryside or experience the hustle and bustle of a major city, our experts can plan a France train travel itinerary for you.

Set off from London on the Eurostar, which will see you in the centre of Paris around two-and-a-half hours later, and from here the rest of the country is your oyster. Sit back, relax and enjoy your journey through France's stunning scenery as you travel between cities, countryside and coast along picturesque routes. Travel through central France to Lyon (often considered the country’s culinary capital), speed across Provence to enjoy the vineyards stretching either side of you or head all the way to the Alps by train for a relaxed start to an active ski holiday.

If you're looking for an adventure and want to see as much of the country as possible in one trip, take the TGV – the fastest way to travel between cities in France. The high-speed trains can get you from Paris to Nice in just over seven hours, or from Lyon to Bordeaux in under four hours. With plenty of stops along the way, you'll be able to explore all that France has to offer, without the hassle of internal flights or long car journeys.
