What’s included
Itinerary
We meet at London St Pancras and take the Eurostar to Paris, travelling in Standard Premier Class with a light meal served at our seats. In Paris we continue to charming Colmar where we spend the night. Colmar, in the Alsace, is a picturesque town of colourful, half-timbered houses, cobbled lanes and flower-lined canals. Our hotel is right outside the railway station and, as we arrive in the afternoon, there's time to look around and soak up the atmosphere before dinner at a local French restaurant.
**Please note: The departure on 23/09/2024 will be staying in Strasbourg (not Colmar).
