For the first time, I am trying the French notion of no frills trains.
French railways has a budget brand called Ouigo. It uses the same high speed trains, but with higher density seating, no buffet car and strict rules on check-in and baggage. But for £10 from the deep south of France to somewhere near Paris, I’ll take it.
