Moving to France - The train

The train is certainly the best way to travel in France between two distant cities. The rail network is well developed and trains are fast. The TGV can connect downtowns of major cities in few hours. This also avoids the caps on roads, very common during the holidays. Thus, from Lille, which is the closest town to the north of the country, it takes one hour to go to Paris. The distance is 250km (two hundred and fifty kilometers). It takes three hours to get to Lyon is 500km (five hundred kilometers) and five hours to reach Marseille, which lies 1100km (1100 miles) in the south.

Unfortunately, trains are frequently late and strikes are part of the heritage National . This week, I took the TGV three times and not once I arrived on time.

In addition, tickets are expensive. To limit cost of a trip, it is better avoid rush hour .

nice trip in France!

Unlike American cities, the French cities are not optimized for vehicular . It follows therefore huge congestion especially during peak hours .

The transit, subway or bus, are often the best ways to travel. When moving in town, so it is best to park his car outside the city and then take the subway. It avoids having feed the parking meters ! In addition, there are often car parks where parking is free.

When it comes to car in France is also thinking of highways. These roads for cars are expensive for the motorist. And yes, in France, you have to pay to travel on these roads faster. Besides the high price of fuel and taxes levied on the highways, we must also add the extra cost to a potential speeding statement by one of the many cameras.
