Paris and back in 14 hours

It's rare that I have a whole week off without any concrete plans. Sometimes it's nice to just switch off and let things come to me... for a few days or so!

Today I'm itching to get going again. I need some inspiration, so I'm going to take the Eurostar to Paris and back – a fourteen-hour trip, including a six-hour layover in the French capital.

Navigo Day Pass (€12.30): Unlimited travel for one day (from 0am to 11:59pm) throughout Île-de-France (Zones 1-5), ideal for many trips.
