Travelling to and around France has never been easier. You can travel to France from the UK by air, sea, and rail (thanks to the Channel Tunnel). France’s railway system boasts some of the fastest passenger trains in the world – it can be quicker to travel by train than by plane between certain cities – and the country is well connected by road. Local public transport is widely developed and Paris is famous for its métro, one of the oldest underground rail services in the world.
