Eurostar TGV Sightseeing in Paris picture - Travelling at a maximum cruising speed of 186 miles per hour on the French leg of the trip, the Eurostar goes from central London via the Channel Tunnel to the heart of Paris in three hours. Watching the French countryside in Pas-de-Calais flying by, it's hard to believe that the train is going as fast as it is because the ride is incredibly smooth and quiet. They don't call them bullet trains for nothing!
