On 11 May, Eurostar, the high-speed provider of carbon neutral journeys between the UK and the Continent, has announced a one off special offer of £69 for return travel to the South of France.

To mark the introduction of Eurostar’s trial ‘code-share’1 (in conjunction with French railways – SNCF), a number of tickets at this special price are being made available exclusively through Eurostar’s contact centre. Travellers from London St Pancras International can choose from four destinations: Lyon, Avignon, Aix-en-Provence or Marseille.

Connecting in Lille, customers will be able to swap more seamlessly  from Eurostar trains to French high-speed TGVs which have carriages specially designated for Eurostar travellers. To ensure that their journey is as hassle-free as possible, on arrival at Lille, passengers will be given advice and directions for their onward travel.
