While in Florence, Italy I woud love to check out Rome aswell. Does anyone know how to find prices for the eurostar between those two cities. I've tried looking but it doesn't give the option for Italy...as far as i saw. All thoughts would be greatly appriciated. Thank you!

take the train (www.trenitalia.it), it's comfortable but not so cheap.
by IC (intercity) it'a about 2h.30', and 28€ second class and 36€ first class, per person one way
by ES* (eurostar) it's 1h40'.. and 33 € second class, 47 € first calss per person, one way.
by car it's cheaper ( if you are 2 or more you can share oil and motorway costs). i don't know about car rental costs...

I can't answer your France question, but for Italy I can give you a bit of guidance. I lived just south of Rome for two years, and have been to both Rome and Florence countless times. If you are looking to have the tourist experience (lots of things to see and not much time to see them, overcrowded museums and long lines to get it, but a "stereotypical" Italian vacation) then Rome is the place for you. You will get to see everything from the colosseum to St. Peter's. If you want, however, to have a more personal Italian experience, then there is no better place than Florence. The city itself is simply beautiful, the air is fresh, and the grass is green. The people are noticeably nicer, and everything is a lot less expensive. So, it's up to you really! I hope you enjoy whichever you chose! *As a side note, if you do go to Rome, be sure to check out the Capuchin Bone Chapel near Barbarini Square. It's creepy, but one of the most grotesquely beautiful things to see in Rome.

I took the Eurostar from Florence to Rome. Just go to the main Termini and you can buy tickets from a machine. We were there in early March and it was $66 for two people one way in coach. It wouldn have been $99 each way for us to be in first class. It takes a lot longer to take the local train. Go the day before to assure that you get an assigned seat. I had done that but then decided to change my reservation to something earlier, then my husband and I didn't get to sit together. I checked out buying tickets online before we left, but it was more expensive than buying them right in the Termini.

We took the train from Florence to Rome and it was only a few hours and very inexpensive (about $30 Canadian, I think). I booked all our tickets online via the Trenitalia web site: http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html
I highly recommend that method of travel as it was safe, quick, and cheap!

Take the train...You'll kick yourself if you pass up on this opportunity. It also is the best way to get around in any European country but this stretch is rather...good on the eyes.
