The trains from the UK capital will run to three cities: Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, and Avignon. Services will start in the spring of 2013 following the success of Eurostar’s direct train service from London to Avignon, which operates weekly throughout the summer months.

Outbound journeys on trains from London to Aix-en-Provence will be direct, while inbound services will require a change in Lille. Passengers will be able to clear passport control and customs there before travelling back to the UK.
