Life’s a beach in Paris!

Not everyone wants to spend their days sun worshipping on holiday. But even the most dedicated visitor to Paris this summer will find its impressive artificial beach – Paris Plage - more than a little tempting as a haven away from its museums and galleries.

For anyone going to Europe’s capital of style, culture and romance this August the beach is a perfect place to relax for while. It has to be one of the must-do things this summer in Paris.

Eurolines, the international scheduled coach operator, part of National Express Group, has no fewer than 44 ultra low-cost coach services a week to Paris and some great deals this summer – with Fun Fares from £19 single and £37 return. With its ultra low-cost fares, Eurolines can get you to Paris in just 7 hours for a great summer break. Using one of its 3 daily overnight services you can even save on accommodation costs, sleep on the coach and be ready to make the most of your stay from the moment you arrive.

August in Paris has a completely different feel to it from any other time of year. As Parisians head south for their own holidays, Paris makes an extra effort to welcome its own holidaymakers with this annual transformation of the Seine, complete with deck chairs, palm trees, parasols, floating swimming pool, aquagym, dance sessions, boules, concerts and free entertainment.

So after you have tired of the Louvre, need recovery time after a night of clubbing or want to sleep off a large meal, heading for the banks of the Seine for a bit of sun bathing is the perfect thing to do.

Fun Fare deals are only available online at Eurolines.co.uk. All other tickets can be booked at any National Express Travel Agent. There is an extra money-saving deal for anyone starting their journey outside London, with a £15 return Add-On fare allowing cheap connections to the international departure.

Using National Express service travellers can connect easily from anywhere in mainland Britain with only a short walk between gates at London’s Victoria Coach Station to board their Paris-bound service.
