I fancy a long weekend in Paris with un amie. I am in the Midlands at the moment. Whats the cheapest way to do it?Ferry, eurostar? And im guessing hotels can be quite expensive? Im thinking of going February or March?

I found this link which does travel and accomodation from 99 pounds per person in March. However I could not find where it picks people up from. |

Ryan Air are doing really cheap flights to Paris at the moment.
I priced some up flying from East Midlands, and it was £40 for two of us, return, including all the taxes etc. I booked a hotel online and paid about £40. You don't have to spend loads when you get there either, there are places to eat to suit all budgets. |

Walking would be the cheapest way.
Although obviously not the quickest... |

I don't know your budget but some friends of mine are coming over for Christmas (23-26/12) by plane for £186 each - 3 nights in a 3 star hotel (Montparnasse = loads to do/see) including flights. If you book just the flight from Manchester it's at least £110. You must take time to work out what you want to do and where you want to go - the hotels often give an address which seems closer to the "heart of things" than they really are. I would suggest plane from Birmingham or East Midlands. With Eurostar you have the change in London, with coach, forget it - you will arrive more tired than you left - it's not worth the price difference. It is far cheaper to do an "all-in package" than doing things separately. When I went to the hotel my friends are staying in they couldn't get over what they were paying for the package as they charge £90 (not euros) a night... |

Paris hotels can be expensive, and often for something no better than a Uni bedsit. It may not have much romance, but you ar best staying with the budget chain hotels to avoid any nasty surprises.
There is a Campanile at Porte d'Italie that is quite nice, and low cost. There is another at Place d'Italie that is a bit spooky, IIRC. Ibis at La Defense may be a good bet too... |
