If you’re travelling in Standard Premier or Business Premier you’ll have a socket at your seat and we’ll serve a meal en route.
You’ll be in First Class on the TGV where there are sockets at every seat and an on board bar.
If you’re travelling in Standard you’ll find drinks, snacks and meals at Café Métropole on Eurostar, and at the TGV Bar.
