A Trip To Paris Through The Channel Tunnel
To be quite honest, I do not like to spend much time travelling and would rather spend my days off work in the comfort of my own home. But for my wife, travelling abroad for a tan is the whole point of having annual leave; she really does love getting away whenever she gets the chance. But we normally only get to holiday abroad every couple of years as we just dont have the money to get away every single year. This year, my wife and celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary so I decided it would be nice to surprise her and take her away for a weekend. Lately she hasnt been feeling too great because our son has recently left home to go off to university. I was thinking about going to Scotland or somewhere near, but then I saw an ad for the Channel Tunnel.
Now I already knew about the Channel Tunnel obviously, but Im probably one of the few people in England who hasnt actually used it yet. When I checked it out, I discovered that it would only take a matter of hours for us to drive from Bromley where we live to Paris. I knew that this would be something that would thrill the wife and I actually quite fancied the idea of taking my car under the sea. And when I found out that driving from Folkestone to Calais would only take just over thirty minutes I was even more surprised.
On the weekend of our anniversary I took my wife to France. We took the Channel Tunnel as planned and it was actually very exciting. Not only did my wife have a great time in Paris, but so did I. The continent really seems so close with the tunnel so this is one of the best things about it. Going to Paris is as easy for me as travelling to Liverpool. And it was not expensive at all. Hopefully, next year we will head off to Europe with the car for about two weeks.
City breaks Europe style are not only fashionable, but are here to stay. France hotels are among the best in Europe when thinking about this option. Many are pet friendly hotels as well. For a romantic weekend away, city breaks are the best.
