Eurostar Travel from London to Paris, Lille and Calais
Eurostar trains run directly from London to Paris in only three
hours. Trains also stop at Lille – which is
becoming more popular as a weekend and short break destination and Calais.
Catching a Eurostar at just after 8.15am from Waterloo easily gets
you into Paris in time for lunch. If you’re heading for Lille the
journey time even shorter at only two hours.

Eurostars now also run to Disneyland® Paris and in the winter to
Bourg St Maurice for the ski resorts around Val d’Isère.

London 
London to Paris takes approximately 4 hours by Eurostar.
Paris
Paris - said to be the most romantic city in the
world...and certainly one of the most beautiful. The Eiffel Tower
may have been seen as an eyesore when it was first built but today
it is an icon for the city.

Most first time visitors will be surprised at how many images of the
city they have absorbed already - Notre Dame, the Louvre,
the Arc de Triomphe and of course the Sacré Coeur.

One of the joys of the city is that the majority of these fabled
sites are within walking distance of each other. Most
travellers start from the stations, usually the Gare du Nord.
Lille
Lille is an impressive cosmopolitan mix of old and new, Lille's
ambitious restoration has converted the old into new.
Intricate 17th and 18th century facades have been restored and the
narrow streets are as vibrant as they ever were.
Calais
f you've crossed by ferry or eurotunnel,
it's amazing how different a place can be when it's so close. Calais
has plenty to offer, you can enjoy the cultural heritage of
traditional French restaurants and despite the town having been
flattened in two 20th century wars, you can also find a lot of
surviving glimpses into its fascinating past - if you know where to
look.
