Eurostar : London <> Paris <> Brussels <> Amsterdam

Eurostar is your high speed, top comfort connection via the eurotunnel. Reach London or Paris in 2h35. There's even a direct stop at Disneyland Paris. In the winter it can drop you off at different ski locations in the South of France.

Your Eurail pass gives you a reduction of 25-35% on a Eurostar ticket... so, although you can't directly use the Eurorail pass for this portion of your trip... it certainly has many advantages.

Travelers with Eurail and other passes which cover the whole sector of travel pay a small supplement... well worth it. Special prices are available based on length of stay, age etc. and remember, seat reservations are obligatory in all high speed trains.
