I’m joining Dan’s Fun Foto Challenge this week and the theme is views from or in public transport. I took the Eurostar a few years ago to join a friend in Paris for the weekend. It’s the ideal way to travel, avoiding those lengthy queues at the airport and not having to put all your liquids in a tiny bag.
I opted for lunch on board and was happily surprised by the food served and being waited on! It was such a comfortable journey and I would happily do it again.

Seems like I had the train to myself, but it did fill up!

Isn’t it a great way to travel
So relaxing
I love the windmill shot.
Thanks Rupali ☺️
I love taking the Eurostar. Thanks for sharing this Ali, it got me to share my take on the topic as well.
That’s good 😊
I love taking the Eurostar!
It must be quite easy for you
A great way to travel now
Very easy – we’re less than an hour from St Pancras on a direct Tube line 🙂
Maybe you’re planning some destinations by train this year then?
Not at the moment. We usually go to Paris for our anniversary in September but this year for a change we’re going to Italy (Trieste) and for a short break the train would take too long so we’ll be flying there.
Ah, brings back happy memories!
We’ve travelled on Eurostar twice, both times from St Pancras. One trip ended in Lille in France and the other in Brussels. It’s such an enjoyable way to travel.
Two places I’ve never been but would like to and would definitely take the train for that
If you do go to Brussels I would recommend you continue on to Bruges as well. It is one of the most beautiful cities we’ve been to.
I’d love to go on the Eurostar to Paris one day. It takes around 4 hours from here to London by train, so it would be far quicker to fly from somewhere like Birmingham to Paris, but I would miss out on the experience.
I suppose it’s only useful for people in the south
love the snapshots from the Eurostar 🙂
Thanks 🙂
I love the Eurostar! It is travelling in comfort! and I feel so elegant.
