Trains from London to Paris
Crossing between the capitals of Britain and France by train means leaving from a terminus on the north side of central London, running through Kent, passing under the Channel in the tunnel and coming out in northern France for the run into Paris. The border is crossed on the way, so you board after your documents have been checked at the London end. The arrival is on the north side of the Paris centre, which puts the city within reach of the metro, and it is the usual choice for a city break, a family visit or a working trip.

About the London to Paris train
Boarding for this route happens through a check-in area at the London station rather than straight from the concourse, so allow for the queues when you pick a departure. Carry the ID the operator asks for and check the entry rules for France for your passport before you travel. Enter who is travelling and when, and the fares that come back belong to that day alone. Paris needs little introduction: the Seine divides it into the Right Bank, with the Louvre and the grand boulevards, and the Left Bank, with the Latin Quarter and the Eiffel Tower further west. The arrival station is in the north of the centre and well connected by metro and suburban lines, so a hotel in almost any district is reachable without a car. The return, Paris to London, is covered on AI Concierge as its own route. Hotels in Paris appear on this page as a taste of the catalogue; the search gives you the full choice by district and star rating.
