Relations between Britain and France have had their strained moments over the years, but it is fair to say that the Eurostar railway service between London and Paris has been a great boost to the famed Entente Cordiale.
In little over two hours, Britons can swap central London for lovely food and wine in an atmospheric Parisian bistro.
While French travellers coming in the opposite direction can perhaps enjoy a pint or two in a branch of UK pub chain Wetherspoons, or maybe visit an Aberdeen Angus steakhouse.
But not before the French visitors had - until two years ago - first arrived at Waterloo Station, named after the nearby bridge over the Thames that was so called to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo - Britain's 1815 victory over France.
