France

Great food and wine are just some of what France has in store. Prior to 1930, the Eiffel Tower stood as the tallest structure in the world and is the icon of Paris. Housing some of the most spectacular works of art is the Louvre with over 35,000 pieces. For more culture visit the Palace of Versailles but for outdoor activities, every July the Tour de France runs through the country.

Default Train rides through French Alps

We will be visiting France in May and would like to take a train trip through the mountains. We will be taking a train from Paris to somewhere in or close to the Alps and then would like to take a trip through the mountains.

Is there such a thing?

Thanks,

Default Re: Train rides through French Alps

Trains are quite scarce but certainly do exist in the Alps. There is a train that runs from Saint Gervais les Bains, up through the Chamonix Valley and over to Martigny in Switzerland. The journey has truly breath-taking views.
