You will see all the major sights, including Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe and Chaillot Palace. Entrance to the Eiffel Tower is also included to the second floor.

The Eurostar

The journey between London and Paris takes less than three hours, passing en route through the 31-mile-long Channel Tunnel.

The idea of a road tunnel between England and France was first suggested to Napoleon in 1802. It was not until nearly two centuries later that the dream became reality when digging began on the Channel Tunnel or "Chunnel" as it was known in its construction period. The $15 billion link, one of Europe's biggest infrastructure projects to date, was officially opened by President Mitterand of France and HRH Queen Elizabeth II of England, in 1994.

The tunnel consists of 3 interconnected tubes: 1 rail track each way plus 1 service tunnel. Its length is 31 miles, of which 23 miles are underwater. Its average depth is 150 feet under the seabed.

The American Society of Civil Engineers has declared the tunnel to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. 95 miles of tunnels were dug by a workforce of nearly 13,000. The volume of rubble removed from the tunnel is three times greater than that of the Cheops Pyramid in Egypt. Its length is 31 miles, of which 23 miles are underwater. Only 20 minutes of the Eurostar journey takes place in the tunnel.
