There are many ways to get between France and Switzerland, but one of the most interesting has got to be by train. Europe's modern Eurail system takes a countless number of passengers between these two countries every year to experience the various sights like the Loire Valley, the beaches in the South of France, world-class skiing in Switzerland and the banks of Geneva. Don't miss the specialty trains that chug up and down this line regularly, including the Chocolate Train!
