EUROSTAR
CONNECTIONS
Travelling further afi eld is easy as A to B to C
We love our cities, but we know Europe has plenty
more to offer besides, be it purple pastures of lavender
in Aix-en-Provence, cooling Kölsch beers in Cologne, or
canals and café culture in Amsterdam. See how easy it
is to travel to numerous European destinations with
one simple connection in Lille, Brussels or Paris.
NEED A HAND?
