Parisian brasserie

Paris has so much going for it. If you're into culture and architecture, don't miss the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysées, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Arc de Triomphe. That’s just for starters – there are plenty more world famous sights and attractions to choose from.

Or is shopping more your thing? Put on your walking shoes and go in search of the hippest and most fabulous fashion addresses in the world. Chic designer boutiques are always associated with this great city, but don’t forget the colourful food markets and accessible department stores such as Galeries Lafayette, Printemps and Le Bon Marché. Maybe give M&S a wave if you pass it on the Champs Elysées.

Finally, before you head off back to London by train, conclude your city trip with some showbiz sparkle at the historical Moulin Rouge cabaret.

Through his work, Chagall left a precious testimony of his time. He lived through the entire twentieth century, a revolution, two world wars and exile. He addressed these many experiences in his art via certain recurring key themes: his hometown, Jewish traditions, the Bible, the couple, the family and the circus. Through about a hundred works, this exhibition highlights the uniqueness with which Chagall presents war and peace.

Up to 21 July 2013 inclusive, get exhibition admission for €7.50 (instead of €11 full price) plus fast track entry on presentation of your train ticket to Paris or Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy (Disneyland ® Paris) purchased via SNCB Europe.
