"Spring is in the air and it’s the perfect time for a weekend break

We’ve partnered with Thalys and Inntel Hotels to offer you the chance to win a trip to Rotterdam. The prize includes return travel from London for two people, two nights’ hotel accommodation and entry to a Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition in the city.

The winner will travel by train from London to Brussels to connect with a high-speed Thalys service to Rotterdam. Travel in first class comfort, with free wi-fi and a meal served at your seat.

You’ll stay at the Inntel Hotel Rotterdam Centre, located at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge on the bank of the Maas river. Popular art exhibitions, exclusive fashion stores and the unique architecture of Rotterdam are all within walking distance of this design hotel.

During your stay, visit the Kunsthal for 'The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier, from the sidewalk to the catwalk’. This exhibition first opened at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to much acclaim in 2011. It includes a collection of the designer's sketches, looks from three decades of design, never-seen-before photography, and film clips from interviews and catwalk shows.

To be in with a chance of winning this prize, simply answer the following question:

Where did the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition now showing in Rotterdam first open?"

The answer is: Montreal (from here)
