Book your seat London to Bordeaux
Eurostar tickets for high-speed train line go on sale today
The new high-speed train line was inaugurated by the French President at the start of March and is due to begin running on 2nd July 2017.
Tickets go on sale today (Wednesday 15th March) for the journey, which Eurostar intends to offer as a comfortable alternative to airlines from London to the city of Bordeaux – although passengers will have to change stations in Paris. With the addition of the high-speed section of track, the journey from London to Bordeaux will be around six hours, with the Paris to Bordeaux stretch taking just two hours.
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. Bordeaux boasts grand architecture, a dynamic restaurant scene and a wealth of art and culture.
Nick Mercer, Commercial Director, Eurostar, said: “There is a growing appetite for Bordeaux, as British travellers are drawn to the gastronomic and cultural attractions of the city and nearby regions. With the new high-speed line, passengers will benefit from a more civilised way to travel with city-centre to city-centre travel, a generous baggage allowance and superior comfort on board our new trains.”
