Some of my happiest memories were day/short trips to France. The Channel Tunnel blew my mind as a kid. Being able to 'drive' to the continent in 30 minutes. Woah! The undeniable 'farm' smell when getting off the train is one that's solidified in my mind. I won't ever forget it, and every time I get off at Coquelle or visit northern France, it takes me right back to the very first time. Same as whenever I visit a Carrefour - it takes me right back to Cité Europe --- Here's a cool animation of the machine that dug the tunnel https://preview.redd.it/mf4yb5unbgz61.gif?width=600&format=mp4&s=90a2ef33d112c16c1ef6e666fcf08637d4f142fe https://preview.redd.it/mf4yb5unbgz61.gif?width=600&format=m... and more generically about the process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuYdnzcQXhk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuYdnzcQXhk
