issue is that half truths, scare stories and conspiracies about particularly on social media, one of the reasons we got Brexit. If people read articles with an enquiring mind that would be a different issue, rather than posting stuff because it meets their agenda. People will remember the Torygraph article due to it's headline rather than the detail which is more balanced. -
Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris. I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago. -

We go to the South of France by train most summers. It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city. TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London, Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from. What are you looking for? Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations. Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
