Eurostar to launch new London to Bordeaux ticket sales

Eurostar will open ticket sales for the new route from London to Bordeaux.

The new high-speed line in France will reduce journey time by over one hour, offering passengers a more convenient alternative to flying.

With a simple connection in Paris from Gare du Nord to Montparnasse, passengers can travel from the heart of London to the centre of Bordeaux, with services specially timed to ensure a fast transfer between the Eurostar and local high-speed train.

The new line is testament to the increasing appeal of the city, which offer travellers the ultimate French escape.
