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.

Posted via email from Eurostar Breaks to Paris

I live in London and when I’ve finished my college course, I’d like to get a job and save up for my boyfriend and I to go to Paris for the weekend.

Some of the prices I’ve seen are outrageous (nearly £400 for two days) and I know nothing about booking a holiday. Help!

Paris is not a weekend affair for couples but for louveures (lovers).
Let the boyfriend pay for yourself to go alone or for the two of you to go together. Either way you go to Paris. Though, it is commendable you
want to go dutch (you treating), I find it uneventful that you pay for the trip.
Perhaps go half, 50/50,right down the middle,including to the hotel/motel room. Boyfriend shouldn’t have any problem tipping, paying for meals for two (2),tourism,car rental and souvenirs. However, clothing, shoes and accessories are the girlfriends’ department.
