Until the sixties the overnight sleeper train from Waterloo or Victoria was called The Golden Arrow, & its route down through France took in the coastal city of Boulogne, then hugged the Somme, scene of the most terrible trench warfare of the First World War before passing through the horse racing centre of Chantilly.
