Speeding between the famous sights of Europe\u2019s capitals, Eurostar connects London with continental cities from Paris to Avignon.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Once just an engineer\u2019s fantasy, the Channel Tunnel that connects Britain to Continental Europe hasn\u2019t stopped evolving since its 1994 opening. The latest update to the service offered by Eurostar, the high-speed rail line through the tunnel, brings British travelers farther south than ever before: all the way to Provence<\/a>! Cosmopolitan London has never been so close to the charms of the South of France. The original stop in Paris makes a great waypoint between the two, so you can make sure your travel time is well-spent. Plus, with our furnished rentals in London<\/a>, Paris<\/a>, Provence, and the French Riviera<\/a>, you\u2019ll have a great place to relax after a day on the train, with more privacy and flexibility than a hotel.<\/p>\n

1. London: Saint Pancras International, Camden Town<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re headed south on Eurostar, your departure point is the glassy Saint Pancras station, a major rail hub just north of central London. Close to King’s Cross, a must-see Harry Potter filming site<\/a>, the station is in a great student area<\/a> near University College London. On the other side of the transit hub is Camden Town<\/a>, one of London\u2019s hippest neighborhoods for locals and tourists alike.<\/p>\n

Lots of sleeping space makes this furnished rental great for students or families<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are lots of reasons to choose this one-bedroom furnished rental in Camden<\/a>, from the caf\u00e9s and music venues in the surrounding area to the expansive Regent\u2019s Park, one of the best parks in London<\/a>. Inside the apartment are all the furnishings you\u2019ll need to feel at home, as well as the loads of natural light you can see pictured above. The sleeping options are also chosen with students in mind: there are two single beds in the living room in addition to the double bed in the bedroom, great for saving on rent.<\/p>\n

2. South of France: Avignon Centre, Provence<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new southern extension of Eurostar\u2019s train service brings it to a charming Proven\u00e7al city with unparalleled history. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Avignon<\/a> is its papal past, when the city\u2019s sumptuous palaces played host to one of the competing popes during the Middle Ages. Nowadays, things are far more relaxed in this riverside town, with the main annual draw being a world-renowned theater festival<\/a> (starting on July 4, 2016). The warm sun and delectable cuisine of Provence are reasons enough to visit year-round, especially when enjoyed with a glass of local wine.<\/a><\/p>\n

Gare du Nord is one of Paris\u2019s largest train stations, a hub for travel to capital cities like London, Amsterdam, and Brussels.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It would be a shame to travel from London to the South of France without stopping to appreciate the City of Lights along the way. The Paris hub for Eurostar trains is at Gare du Nord, one of the city\u2019s busiest stations and a portal to northern neighborhoods like Montmartre<\/a> and Pigalle. Sights like the Moulin Rouge and Place du Tertre offer something for everyone in this corner of Paris. Even if you\u2019re only spending a day in the city, its timeless beauty is sure to leave an impression!<\/p>\n
