You're used to seeing us jump on planes and take the occasional trip on the rails if you watch our channel. Two train services are against each other.

We have been looking at the amazing experiences that luxury trains provide all over the world.

There is competition on the route between Milan and Paris. The TGV inOui service runs three times a day between France and Oui. One of the trains on the block runs two services a day.

One-way advance tickets on both services start at 29 euro. The first class on the French service and business class on the Italian service start at 46 and 36 euro, respectively. If you want to sit in the fanciest seat on this route, you'll have to pay at least 165 euros.

I took the Executive car on the Italian train while Liam took the first class on the French train to see which class was better. On the same day, we took the earliest train out of Milan to Paris. The Italian and French operators are compared.
