Itinerary
Our holiday starts when we meet our Tour Manager at London St Pancras International this morning before boarding the Eurostar service to Paris. In the French capital, we walk across from Paris Nord station to Paris Est, where we board the train to Strasbourg, arriving in this Alsace city in the afternoon.
Our hotel is a short walk from the station, and after checking in there is time to explore this picturesque city. Strasbourg's impressive main square, Place Kléber, or the half-timbered, riverside houses of La Petite France are only a short stroll from the hotel.
This evening, our group gathers to enjoy a three-course dinner in a local restaurant.
Please Note - For departures 10th May, 7th June and 4th October we will travel out via Mulhouse staying at the Mercure Mulhouse.

Stresa is a great place to stay on this trip, close to the islands on the lake, full of nice shops and restaurants. Close to the train station and lovely walks beside the lake.
