The French have now taken first place in the world rail sweepstakes with their supertrains. The streamlined pride of the French railroad system, Tres Grande Vitesse (very high speed), operates between Paris and Lyon. It hits speeds of 175 mph with a ride for passengers so smooth that a glass of water sitting on an armrest is not disturbed.

This really is not a problem, however, in that

If traveling second-class take along a supply of paper tissues and packets of pre-moistened towels. If the restroom nearest the traveler’s seat is unappealing, perhaps the others are

What does the average American tourist want to do and see? What is important to the middle-class traveler from New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles? Temple Fielding, whose travel guides to Europe have been coming out since 1948, says, The fact is that most travelers don’t give a damn for the sights except for the very famous ones. They pay lip service to museums, tombs, battlefields, but they care the most about their hotel and if they’re comfortable they generally like the city.

European weather varies widely depending upon latitude, altitude, and the presence of large bodies of water.

But against this ancient backdrop plays a continent at the beginning of a new act. With the emergence of
