For those looking to take advantage of the improved transport links with France afforded by the new St Pancras International building, the Travel PR Company has offered a number of summer holiday ideas.
Those with a penchant for steam trains are encouraged to take a three day guided tour on the renowned Viverais railway, which boasts fantastic natural scenery, bridges and viaducts.
For wine lovers meanwhile, a sailing holiday taking some of the finest vineyards in Bordeaux is recommended.
A more energetic city break is also highlighted as a top way to enjoy France.
"Lille is a city full of surprises. It has culture, fantastic shopping, impressive architecture, a young, friendly vibe, a vibrant nightlife and it's all less than two hours by Eurostar from London," the company suggests.
St Pancras International was officially opened by the Queen in November 2007 after an £800 million redevelopment.
InsureandGotravel insurance services offer varying levels of cover for holidays taken by all transport methods.
