We are taking the Eurostar for the first time from London to Paris in standard class, starting in London at St Pancras International, getting to Paris, and figuring out how to transfer on the RER trains from Gare du Nord to Disneyland Paris. It's our first time in Paris and we're excited to explore both Paris and Disneyland Paris in the coming days.

Carluccio's restaurant is lovely. It was run by a well known Italian chef called Antonio Carluccio. He died in 2017. It was a chain of restaurants but many of them closed down in recent years. There's about 30 left in the UK. Wow you got a really good deal on that B&B.

@leehargreaves7473 Год назад

As a Brit living in France I have to give a big Thumbs-up to the French rail network. We recently travelled TGV from Bordeaux to Paris. It was about £38 UK each way, for a 340 mile journey, at about 200mph in places , in 2 hours 20 minutes. I cry when I think how much it cost me to commute to London (occasionally thank God), and how long it took to cover about 65 miles (standing most of the way back home).

@etoilegale888 Год назад

Is it pet friendly?

@ynys_mon6928 Год назад

I’m glad that Carluccio’s is still going, but sad their restaurant in my home town closed. Antonio Carluccio did a lot to introduce really good Italian ‘home’ cooking to the UK and did several TV series. He’s sadly missed.

@Lee-70ish Год назад

It's always nice to use the Euro star. Wife and I did a grand tour of Italy from London all by train. A brilliant way to see Europe

@crcomments8509 Год назад

You used to be able to go on the Eurostar directly to Disney Land Paris, you even used to get Disney characters on the train and if you were staying at one of the actual Disney hotels, they would take your luggage to your hotel for you so you could go straight to the park, Disney village. Etc.

@petejones7878 Год назад

all the way to Paris ,and you go to Disney Land and Marvel world ,

When I last went on the eurostar, police got on and questioned a man, then dragged him off. I was very concerned and relieved, as I had my 3 kids with me at the time. 4, if you count my husband 😂

@t.a.k.palfrey3882 Год назад

After its recent refurbishment, St Pancras is surely now the most pleasing of major London railway termini. Unfortunately, Eurostar runs into Paris Nord, probably one of the city most unprepossessing railway stations. Brussel Midi/Sud is slightly less depressing.

@kihoruda7906 Год назад

Brussels Midi always stank of piss

@janettesinclair6279 Год назад

That was very interesting, thank you for taking us along. Now I see how easy it is I will add this to my bucket list.

@rosewardale159 Год назад

Wow you both made it look super easy from London to Paris, I get flustered in my home town haha. Enjoy guys xxx

@reasonableandfair7662 Год назад

It is really easy. You’re there in no time at all.

@oliviadaly4795 Год назад

It's super easy. I have to go with my mum now and then for business (my sister lives in Paris and co-runs a business there with my mum who lives in London. I own a small percentage of the business too) St Pancras International is in Central London and easy to get to. You go through English and French passport control, sit down in waiting area, board the train, then 2 and a bit (somewhere between 2 15 and 2 45) hours and you arrive in Paris and you've already been through passport control so you just walk out into the city centre. Much greener, and quicker by train. Also you don't have any luggage weight restrictions, as long as it fits in the luggage racks (or on the above your head luggage racks for smaller cases) and you can get it on the train! You can take food and alcohol. I always take lunch with me on the train You can't go direct to DLP anymore. They ditched that sevice; you have to change (I think before Paris) and take an RER train

@canyouwhenyourdrunk Год назад

You do need to be careful on that subway. So many scammers who target tourists who look confused. Just pretend you know what your doing and keep moving.

@JohnDuffy-bq8wg 9 месяцев назад

I hate travelling but found eurostar so easy, just step off in Paris and have a look around especially old Paris, easier than getting from Northampton to Devon to see my mum, and on the euro you can bring some sandwiches and a bottle of wine, nice day out

@hannahstrong952 Год назад

Woohoo! Can't wait to watch the paris vlogs. We leave for paris in September and then head over to UK for road trip.

@oktfg Год назад

Looks like a fun trip. Park attractions at night look cool

@Will-nn6ux Год назад

I've never been on the Eurostar passenger trains, but I have been on coach trips that go on the vehicle-carrying trains through the tunnel. I went on a double decker bus in Las Vegas several years ago!

@radagastwiz Год назад

Lots of North American commuter trains are double deck - most famously Toronto, but also Salt Lake City, Denver, San Diego, and several other cities.

Great One guys😊 Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 as always safe journeys.

@alexmcwhirter6611 Год назад

Enjoyable video. I am surprised you never took the direct Eurostar London-Disneyland. In the 1990s we as a family went to Disneyland Paris using the direct train. Sadly the latter ceases to operate soon. We stayed at the New York hotel ... at that time there were fewer options (outside the Disney area) than there are today,

@christoguichard4311 Год назад

From memory...I think when it was built in the 19thC, that roof span at St Pancras was the largest roof span in the world.

@ThereseMcLean Год назад

Thank you for this, I will be getting the metro to and from Disneyland Paris to Paris and was worried I would get confused buying tickets, working out where to go but I can see now that I will be fine.

@danjudson5661 Год назад

It’s an international boarder so will have the appropriate security

@robinbraxton5345 Год назад

Yay this is exciting!

@chrisarcher5573 Год назад

We're getting the direct train to Disney this week. Can't wait.

@the_yorkshire_pudding 11 месяцев назад

You see a lot of double decker trains in The Netherlands (which is, of course, famously flat). I think that in the UK there are just too many tunnels that would need upgrading to make it economically viable on most lines.

You're almost onto our topic Theme parking! We're off to Paris this year, but for the new Toutatis at Parc Asterix.

When they first opened the Eurostar terminal at St. Pancras they asked for volunteers to test the security systems in exchange for a free return Eurostar tickets. I signed up and went through all that security and back again three times in day with a load of empty baggage - then when I went down into the Tube afterwards to go back to my aunt's house in London I was immediately stopped and searched under the random check powers via the Terrorism Act. Because clearly I had not been checked enough :D Fortunately they accepted I was not a threat and I was on my way quickly after sharing a joke with the bemused copper. And I had a very nice weekend in Belgium with my free ticket!

@Diamondmine212 Год назад

ALWAYS check for when the trains are on STRIKE,it's quite a regular thing. Stupid when you think Euro Train was in trouble lady year and very nearly went bust. They had to beg for bailouts.

@DH.2016 Год назад

Double decker trains in Sydney, Australia, too. 😎

@rthoc71 Год назад

Older Eurostar u travelled on lot smooth ride to do with articulated bogies they also more roomy compared newer units. NICE videos again love your channel, 2 my favourite channels yours and Finn Loves Food channel in Pacific North West California u are both lovely down to earth couples really enjoy life hope u have a beautiful adventure in uk. If u do go to Germany please I'd recommend Burg Eltz castle do, lots nice places Germany one my favourite holidays if u need ideas let me know happy give u tips my travel

@jtstacey83 Год назад

When we visited, we ended up on the wrong train because, at the last minute, they changed platforms on us. So we traveled 20 minutes the wrong way, and the train we were on didn't have the lights on the sign. If I hadn't decided to reload google maps, who knows how far we would have gone. We ended up in a rural train station while it was snowing, waiting for the right one so we could travel 90 minutes to Disney. Traveling is just one big adventure, and I know my wife and I will never forget that mistake. By the end of our weeklong stay in Paris, we had the metro and RAR down cold.

@TheMagicGeekdom Год назад

Oh wow that sounds like a lot to try and figure out, but now you're pros. 😂

You went on the old Eurostar trains - I went on one of them a couple of years ago - SNCF were going to scrap them but Thalys took over and kept then

@rthoc71 Год назад

E300 ORIGINAL TMST will always be best I'm certainly not impressed with new Siemens E320 sets. Articulated 373 units so smooth compared rough ride on new DB 4 units.

I thought that it was a strange comment, I rode on a few double decker Amtrak trains in the US. I thought they were quite well known in the US.

I am sure you noticed the standard of the French transport network is vastly superior that that in the UK and much more reasonably priced!

@JohnTaylor-bf6ll Год назад

OK, the response from locals. Firstly, the lady is very jolly. Has she considered television or radio as a career? 1) in Britain, we have double deckers everywhere. I've even been on double deckers along country lanes passing beside cornfields, with sheep blocking the road (the driver asking you to get out and shew them off the road). 2) you missed much on your surface travel to Paris by not going in daylight. That's the whole point, over taking the plane (i have done both). 3) I tend to have some sympathy with the comment from another reply who disapproved of your stay at Disneyland. However, to be fair, I don't really have much experience of how things pan out for non French speakers, so maybe it wasn't such a bad idea for you guys after all. 4) why didn't you come over with dollar Britrail ticket which would have included everything with one ticket, AND a good deal cheaper.!!!
