So, you've done Paris and you need a little bit more European excitement, a more sedate city perhaps, one that has mountains not just museums, or vineyards and valleys rather than Versailles.
What many travelers don't realize is that Paris is not only accessible by train, it's also one of Europe's quickest exit doors. The French capital serves as an ideal launching pad for countless adventures across the continent, with high-speed connections that whisk you away in just a few hours.
Travelling internationally from Paris by train still carries that glamorous feeling that air travel has lost. Gone are the security headaches and cramped quarters of flying. Instead, you'll enjoy no security stress, freedom to pack what you like and city center-to-city center convenience. You'll have generous legroom, reliable WiFi and panoramic windows showcasing breathtaking scenery.?
