Eurostar Breaks to Paris or Bruges?

The best Eurostar breaks – to France by Eurostar or to Brussels by Eurostar and TGV?

I often go to France, since I like the atmosphere of the cities there and it's suitable for a short break since it is so accessible. Over the years I have spent several short breaks as well as longer trips in Paris and other french cities such as Lille, Dijon, Marseille and Rheims.

But you know, France can be very similar all over due to the centralised state and homogenous culture. It's lovely, but it's always French. So how about eurostar breaks to Brusses or Bruges or even Amsterdam for a change?

Have your weekend break in Bruges. I was wondering how to spend a weekend and came across this option: Take the Eurostar and have a break in Bruges with all those fantastic waterside vistas and ancient buildings. I aquired a tatse for flemish food when I was in Lille, so this seemed to be the next logical step for us. And there are many other interesting destinations in France and the Benelux.

Where I can sell my Eurostar vouchers? I’ve tried Ebay but they were removed for breaking a rule . . .?

. . . namely that you can’t sell Eurostar tickets.

I really want to sell them otherwise they’re just going to go to waste. Any ideas?

You’re right, Ebay UK refuses to carry Eurostar tickets. But on the other hand Ebay France does carry Eurostar tickets. It seems that lots of English people have cottoned on now.
So they will probably carry Eurostar vouchers. I’ve sold plenty of Eurostar tickets on the French ebay, including signles from Londnon to Paris.
Another idea would be to simply go to Waterloo Station or Gare du Nord and sell them to someone queueing to buy tickets.
There are also a couple of French web sites re-selling railway tickets, including Eurostar (kellbillet.com and trocdesprems.com) but they are not really geared for selling vouchers but you can give it a try. Incidentally, reselling tickets in France is only legal if you sell them for not more than the price you paid.
How much do you want for them by the way and how long are they valid until?
