When it comes to travel in the UK we really have a lot of choice. A few decades ago travelling abroad was a hugely expensive venture and something only an option for the very rich. Most Brits needed to make do with trips to Brighton or if they were very lucky Skegness. But luckily foreign holidays are getting cheaper all the time and for most of us a foreign holiday is something we can look forward to at least once every year. It is easy for us to get to Europe these days on a train and once we get there it is so easy to keep using this method of travel to explore.

If you want to travel all around Europe by train then you can buy flexible tickets which will permit travel in the whole Euro Zone. Years ago these tickets were only popular with young people who didnt have much money and who wanted to backpack around Europe. These days though, people of all ages are finding that this is not only an economical way to travel but it is also great fun too. Of course one of the most popular destinations for short trips is France. We can now get from London to Paris in just three hours on superfast trains.

The standard of the rail network in Europe and the UK is very high so you can be sure of a pleasurable trip. And you will be able to go around to plenty of different places whenever you feel like it if you have a flexi-ticket. There are plenty of people who prefer not to make any plans and just get on and off the train whenever they see something of interest. This is a type of holiday for an adventurer and gives you the chance to see places that you might not have heard of before. The other advantage of rail travel in Europe is that it tends to be a lot more scenic then using the motorway and you dont have to worry about traffic jams.

It is a lot of fun getting an English ferry (ferry angleterre) for a trip to the UK. Quite often though, people enjoy using the Channel Tunnel (tunnel sous la manche). For thos wanting to stay in England (sejour angleterre), these ways are the best means of getting there.
