PARIS BY TRAIN

Picture
Paris by train is a good option as the city, like the whole of France, is very well connected by train from the whole of mainland Europe and the UK. Paris, like many other European cities does not have a designated main railway station but is served by no fewer than seven main stations, each serving a different direction bringing passengers from every corner of the continent, making Paris by train a good choice.
