Today saw the arrival of the first TGV service from Paris to Basel, knocking 2 hours off the journey time as the fast link between Paris & Strasbourg comes into operation. Surprisingly there was one man and a dog to see it arrive, though the swiss cameras were at Zurich, here's the youtube version. With the Eurostar going fully TGV from November the train journey from centre of London to centre of Basel will be around 6 hours (as the Gare du Nord and Gare de L'est are right next to each other, so no cross Paris rush). Give it a try - far more relaxing than the easyjet scramble.
