More and more Brits are opting for high-speed rail travel as their chosen transport for summer holidays.
Ideal for villa holidays in France, high-speed rail now has the highest number of UK passengers since the 1920s, according to the Association of Train Operator Companies (ATOC).
ATOC member Eurostar has seen passenger numbers double over the last 30 years.
Last year, the travel company had 9.5 million passengers, travelling to a range of European destinations including Lille, Paris and Nice.
Brits planning luxury villa holidays in France this year can travel to a range of French cities with Eurostar.
Recent research by the rail company revealed that 97 per cent of respondents believe Eurostar's services have brought the UK closer to France and Belgium in terms of social and cultural exchanges.
Travellers currently have the opportunity to win free rail tickets as part of a new social media campaign launched by the company.
To enter, passengers have to upload a video of themselves explaining why they want to visit a Eurostar destination, before asking people to vote online for their entries.
