Gare du Nord is only two miles from Paris’s iconic Eiffel Tower and the shops on Champs Elysees Avenue. Midi Station, in Brussels, is one mile from the majestic buildings and ambient cafés surrounding the Grand Place. Apart from Paris and Brussels there is a daily Disneyland Paris Eurostar from London St Pancras International service and seasonal ones to the Alps and Avignon.

Eurostar trains have three different travel classes and dining cars. Standard Class is, as its name implies, the budget class, but still gives opulent seating and access to drinks and snacks served in the buffet car. Leisure Select and Business Premier are Eurostar’s two premium classes and provide even better seating and free served drinks and snacks.

Normal minimum check in time before departure is 30 minutes. Business Premier travellers are fast-tracked through in 10 minutes.
