🇧🇪 Brussels & 🇫🇷 Paris | 6–11 September
A brilliant few days exploring two beautiful European cities by Eurostar 🚆
Brussels – 2 nights 🇧🇪
Just 2 hours from St Pancras and so easy to explore on foot. We stayed at Novotel Brussels City Centre, perfectly located less than 10 minutes from the stunning Grand-Place, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We wandered through the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, Mont des Arts, Royal Palace and pretty Sablon, with plenty of waffles and Belgian chocolate along the way! 🧇🍫 We also walked to the unusual Atomium for some great views over the city.
Brussels was lovely and I think 2 nights is perfect for a city break.
Paris – 3 nights 🇫🇷
Just 1½ hours from Brussels we stayed at Hotel Parister in the Opera area. We packed a LOT into our time here, including the Arc de Triomphe (nearly 300 steps to the top but absolutely worth it!), Champs-Élysées, Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Tuileries and the Seine.
A sunset cruise along the Seine was a highlight, followed by a classic beef bourguignon. ❤️
The next day we explored Notre-Dame, Saint-Chapelle, Le Marais and Montmartre (highly recommend these areas), finishing with the Moulin Rouge lit up at night.
Then one last croissant and coffee 🥐☕️ before catching the Eurostar home.
I absolutely loved Paris and will definitely be going back! 🇫🇷❤️
