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.

Paris Breaks for 2010 For Paris breaks, 2010 starts with the aftermath
of the unfortunate Eurostar breakdowns with the bad weather last month
in the North of France. http://ukparisbreaks.co.uk/ The locals have been setting fire to house-sized effigies (or fallas)
for the past 200 years, and on the final night all hell breaks loose
with the aptly named Gran Crema, or Big Burn, where the effigies are
stuffed with fireworks and blown up .... Naturally, I'll be taking the

City Night Line overnight to Munich, then a slow and scenic daytime
run through the mountains of Austria into Slovenia and Croatia. Save £3 on all Eurostar Deals | Eurostar Deals

Eurostar Breaks
This blog on posterous is all about going on Eurostar breaks to Paris, Lille, Brussels, Amsterdam and other places. Using the Eurostar from London, it's easy to get away abroad even if you don't have much time. Juts a weekend will do, or even a day trip but a few days is always better. The Eurostar takes just over two hours to get to Paris these days and Paris is easily the most popular city for Eurostar breaks, even if you have to start from Manchester or further afield.
