As we've already been to Japan and Germany this year we decided just to spend two weeks in France this summer. Instead of driving and camping we have decided to do the train and hotels.
We left Oxford by train around 10am and got to Paddington in plenty of time to get to St Pancras in time for Eurostar check-in. It's a good job we did as there were no tubes between Paddington and St Pancras so we had to spend £20 on a taxi.
The Eurostar left on time and we enjoyed a pleasant light lunch on the way to Lille. The change of train at Lille onto the first class TGV was straightforward and we were soon on our way to Marseilles.
We arrived at Marseilles around 2045 and got a local metro train to the Old Port, from where our hotel, Hotel Hermes, was a short walk. It has a rather nice roof terrace! We left our things in our room and went to find dinner at "Au Sanglier"and a couple of drinks before retiring for a good night's sleep.
