@davidreid the trains in and from France are excellent - Paris to Avignon in just over 2 hours; Paris to Zurich in 3 hours (I think. It might be 4. But still!!)

@davidreid seems reasonable. By the time you’ve got to the airport, checked in, cleared security and the rest, it’s faster to catch a train.
