Have you Travelled on the New High Speed Eurostar Yet?

The Eurostar train from London St Pancras to Paris or Brussels now travels at an incredibly fast 186 mph, reaching Brussels in just 1h 51. The ride is comfortable in non-smoking carriages. For an extra treat, I always travel in Leisure Select which gives me a delicious three course meal at my seat with wine and coffee, a choice of newspapers and magazines plus a continental socket so I can plug in my laptop.


the longest champagne bar in Europe




The world famous Brussels' Atomium is celebrating its 50th birthday in 2008 with a string of events in the new Pavilion of Happiness. It was built for the 1958 World Exhibition and completely renovated in 2003.

Eurostar are offering some fantastic Easter breaks from just £73 per person including hotel. You can book hotels on the same site.

Easter egg hunts
If you're after some fantastic Easter egg hunts then the The Chateau Vaux Le Vicomte would make a great visit for the whole family. Just outside Paris, their Easter Egg Hunt is held on both Sunday April 8th and Monday April 9th. Not only do that have egg hunts starting every 40 minutes, there are also a number of free workshops and activities such as making chocolate, origami, face painting, and more. Another option close to Paris is the marvellous Disneyland Paris. Apart from all the fantastic rides, from 19th March - 8th April there will be Easter egg painting, Easter's Big Dipper, Easter egg hunts in Alice's curious labyrinth and special Easter shows.

If you're after some Easter egg hunts in Belgium, just outside of Brussels you can visit Les Pays des Castors which is an animal park dedicated to beavers. Remember to bring your boots if you want to hunt for eggs amongst the beavers! Another hunt will be taking place in Garcet park in Brussels.

Delicious chocolates
Don't forget, that in Belgium, it's sometimes said that the Bells of Rome bring the Easter Eggs. The story goes that the bells of every church leave for Rome on Saturday which is called "Stille Zaterdag" which means "Silent Saturday" in Dutch. Then they return on Sunday with eggs... chocolate eggs hopefully and what better place to find delicious chocolate eggs than Brussels, being home to so many chocolate shops you really won't believe it! One of the most famous of these shops is Neuhaus which has now been making the finest chocolate for 150 years, so look out for their shops with amazing window displays.
