For travellers arriving by train from the UK, Paris is easily accessible by Eurostar, which arrives into Gare du Nord station. From here, it’s just a quick drive or metro journey to the Champs-Élysées.

Alternatively, Paris can also be reached by Charles de Gaulle Airport for those travelling by plane. The airport is located in Roissy-en-France, 14 miles (23km) northeast of Paris's city centre.
