I agree but the Appian Way is not an urban street. Why is the Champs Europe's most famous street? Good question and beats me.

Well it sure as heck was urban to some extent, being the main military road between Rome and Brindisi. It could hardly have avoided urban areas. It was the longest road ever built at the time, which is why everyone knows the expression "all roads lead to Rome." And there are plenty of offshoots off it, like the Via Domitia which I just saw in Narbonne, that were entirely urban.

'was' but not 'is'!

Hi all, me again! Thank you for all the help!

I was wondering.....are we able to take our own food and drink (bottled drinks) on the Eurostar train?

Thanks!

janisj

Sure. And at St Pancras there are LOTS of places to buy yummy things

There are very very few trains in Europe where you cannot bring anything food or drink wise on board - that is regular inter-city trains - commuter trains and S-Bahns, metros sometimes no. I've never been on an inter-city train where booze was not allowed to be brought on. Sometimes on rare occasions like trains going to big football (soccer) matches have instituted such temporary bans.

The only food I would not bring aboard is something like stinky cheese, etc out of respect for others.

Food on the train: also bring a carrier bag that can be your trash bag, because the trash bins on board are often minuscule. Just carry your stuff off the train and throw it away at Gare du Nord.

Between two of the stinky-cheese capitols of the world, I suspect there are quite a number of ways one might offend more easily than enjoying cheese. I say go for it.

Excellent! Thank you!
We'll plan on bringing food back with us.
What are some good foods that would travel well back to the US? Sealed, of course....

LOL!!!
