Q I am trying to do the right thing and travel from Scotland to Bordeaux by rail.
How do I take the stress out of my Bordeaux rail jaunt?

I will take the Caledonian Sleeper from Glasgow to London Euston, then Eurostar from London St Pancras to Paris and onwards by TGV from Montparnasse station to Bordeaux. Any recommendations for a stress-free trip?
