This year, fall for a half-term weekend break, take a few extra days to enjoy it together if you decide to indulge in a romantic break – maybe leave the children with grandma!

Everyone knows that the most romantic city in the world is Paris, and it’s an exceptionally easy destination to reach.  Perhaps the most comfortable way to travel to the city, with minimal changes, is on the Eurostar.  What’s even better is that it’s carbon neutral, so you don’t have to feel guilty that your getaway is damaging the environment – unlike short journeys by plane.

The journey from London to Paris takes only around two-and-a-quarter hours, and even if you factor in the time it will take for you to travel to London from wherever you are in the country, it doesn’t take long and the journey won’t eat into your precious holiday time.  Taking the train Paris can be romantic in itself, especially if you treat yourselves to Standard Premier Class (formerly known as first class)!

There are some good deals to be had around Valentine’s Day as Eurostar seeks to encourage people to travel by train to Paris (or on to Brussels).  There are some attractive combination deals, too, with discounted rail plus hotel packages on offer.

When you arrive, make the most of the beautiful city by visiting its famous attractions – the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, and stroll along the Seine before enjoying a romantic meal in an authentic French restaurant.  Enjoy a night or two in any of the city’s stylish and comfortable hotels and enjoy a warm croissant and fresh coffee in a café for breakfast.

And if all that wasn’t enough, if you join My Ice you can earn reward points – for free – by travelling with Eurostar.
