Eurostar is coming to the centre

Date of Event: 01/08/2008 - 10/08/2008

Connecting at London St Pancras International, our fast, comfortable and reliable trains will whisk you straight to the centre of Paris, making Eurostar the only sensible way to get to the Continent. No lengthy check-in queues, tedious transfers or laborious luggage procedures here; we take our travellers direct to the very heart of their destination with the minimum of fuss, leaving them free to sit back and enjoy their journey.

And now thanks to our Through Fares partnership with National Express East Coast and East Midlands Trains, Eurostar’s seamless journeys are available to more people than ever.

Smooth, fast and easy

With a Through Fare it is now possible to travel from Leeds to Paris, connecting at London St Pancras International, in as little as 5h 35 and to Brussels in 5h 05, with prices starting from £79 return.

Come to the White Rose Shopping Centre between Friday 1 and Sunday 10 August to find out more. The Eurostar carriage will showcase the high-speed rail experience. Visitors will be able to sit and relax in spacious seats in Eurostar's Leisure Select class and watch images of the countryside speed past at 186mph. They will also be able to use an interactive map and view images of Paris, Brussels and Lille in order to plan their trip, with suggestions that will allow them to explore Eurostar's destinations on a day trip, over a weekend or for a longer stay. Advisors will also be on hand to provide expert travel advice and to book tickets.

French Vogue magazine 's veteran fashion editor of 12 years, Barbara Baumel, a top Parisian stylist to clients such as Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix and Louis Vuitton, will host an exclusive Parisian-themed fashion advice event for Leeds residents. Mme Baumel will be giving style tips about how to achieve the classic French look and providing individual consultations at the centre on Monday 4 August at 12.30pm. 

Displaying styles reminiscent of the French First Lady, Carla Bruni, classic beauty Catherine Deneuve, irrelevant fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier and Oscar-winning starlet Marlion Cottilard, Mme Baumel will be helping and consulting shoppers in a special area next to the Eurostar Carriage.
