London St Pancras International to Nice via Paris (day or sleeper) or Lille
From 8 hours 50 minutes
Taking the sleeper train is worth it just to be woken up by the sun as you hit the Cote d'Azur. Wake up early so that you can follow the coast as the sun comes up, admiring the rich and famous' back gardens as you head to Nice.
Check-in times are famously short, the seats are spacious, clean and comfortable, you can wine and dine in a buffet bar, and on arrival there’s none of the hassle of baggage reclaim. Lille is the high speed gateway to Europe.
