Trip to France!

Evening, I need help!

I am planning to treat the other half on the 2nd Jan to a trip to Paris. Back on the 4th. This will be the engagement!!

I am thinking going on the Eurostar from St Pancreas will be cool. Any idea on how to get a cracking deal? I have heard about browsing an buying from the french site, comes out cheaper. Anyone had any experiences? Ideas?

Thanks guys
Tony

    Possibly better to browse the Travel board rather than here, but good luck!

    If you're willing to travel at odd times, then go to the eurostar web page and book some return train tickets, then book a hotel separately.

    Alternatively, look on expedia or lastminute.com for some 3 day breaks. We paid £109 each for return eurostar and 3 nights in a 2 star hotel in the centre of paris about 2 years ago.

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    You can get cash back on Eurostar travel using Quidco.

    Also I have never found much difference between the different language websites (a few pence at most).

    If you've got Tesco clubcard tokens you can spend those in deals - £25 vouchers buys £100 of travel - and good lunck with the engagement. Me and OH got engaged in Paris and it was fab :beer:
