Great Continental Railway Journeys
Michael Portillo continues his exploration of Great Railway Journeys by venturing into Europe. This five episode series is being shown on Thursday evenings at 9pm on BBC 2 and BBC HD.
Episode 1 - Thursday 8 November 2012
Leaving London behind, armed with his 1913 Bradshaw railway guide, Michael Portillo follows the most popular route of the Edwardian traveller through France.
His first stop is Paris where he absorbs the atmosphere of La Belle Époque, before he travels south to the Cote D'Azur where he samples the Edwardian highlife and learns why the area attracted the rich and artistic alike.
