Does anyone have any experience( good or bad) taking the Chunnel from Paris to London? We will be in Paris for a 2 week stay, and since we'll be in the "neighborhood"...any advice is appreciated! Thank you.

it is a delightful way to travel, without the hassle that flying has become. go for it!

Just to clarify: The "chunnel" is the tunnel itself; the train transport that you will take is the Eurostar.

It's great - city center to city center. Although the trip itself isn't too long, I'd spend a night or two in London rather than try a daytrip. There are several great things to do that would warrant a 48 hour stay (Tower of London, Theatre, Churchill War Rooms, Changing of the Guard, Buckingham Palace). Enjoy

Thanks for the tips! Does anyone have any information on the cost, amenities, or baggage restrictions? Any and all info is very much appreciated! G.

Having flown back and forth many times, and done the Eurostar once....I can highly, highly recommend the train....Especially if one is interested in sight seeing, where the city center to city center could save as much as 1-1 1/2 hours depending on how long you have to wait to clear security at the airports.....I have traveled first class in the Eurostar, and while I can't therefore comment on economy travel, and while others on this board may disagree,,,I thought that the convenience of quiet, relaxing trip under the Channel was worth the minimal extra $$...Have fun and Best Wishes.

Gene: the Eurostar is great. But there have been many, MANY discussions of all sapects of the Eurostar/Channel Tunnel on this board. instead of rehashing it again just do a search. You will find hundreds of posts explaining it all.
