Door-to-door solution
"Up to two times a month I am travelling to our head office in Paris. Most of the time I travel by Thalys. The main reason for my choice is the door-to-door solution the train offers. Our head office is located in the city centre of Paris, which is close to the train station Paris Nord. This way of travelling safes a lot of time. The lower train fares, compared to the high airfares, are an imporantant factor as well in the decision making process. Besides that I am able to work comfortably while travelling."
