Me in front of the Paris-Lyon-Turin-Milan train

The train is in two sections- this photo shows the engines of the two sections coupled to each other

Sign in Italian which translated reads: - Thank you for choosing us, to emit less CO2 together. - 50x less than travelling by car - 80x less than travelling by plane

Sign in Italian which translated reads: High speed, low carbon

This year we’re taking the direct train from Paris - Turin (the train continues to Milan), which feels like cheating. Almost.

Up to now when I’ve taken the train to Italy, I’ve taken the scenic route.

Either over the Swiss Alps, or the Austrian Alps.

The Bernina Pass (Chur🇨🇭 - Tirano🇮🇹) is possibly my favourite train journey in the world.

Me on arrival at Paris Gare du Nord, standing in front of the Eurostar that I’ve just travelled on from London St Pancras

Ooops! How did that happen?

I’m Eurostar-ing again!
