About France and the train services available

From lush green countryside and rich heritage of the North West to the stylish beach resorts of the Côte d'Azur and chic boulevards of Paris, France offers year-round appeal and diversity by the bucket load.

All major French cities are connected by a high speed rail service or TGV as its better known. In addition to being connected to the UK via the Eurostar, France’s high speed rail network also connects to neighbouring countries on the continent making it quick, convenient and cost effective to roam around from city to city.

There are a number of train services in France operating both day and night. Most of the French rail network is run by SNCF. TER trains link most French towns and cities and operate frequent services while the intercity trains connect the main towns and cities across the country.
