Paris Short Break

**MJ10** · 07-01-09, 11:19 AM

Hey everyone, need a little help!

Planning on taking my girlfriend away for a weekend to Paris for her birthday!

Although I'm a student and can't afford much

Anyone know where's the best place to book it? I've been looking at lastminute.com

Dates are 6th or 7th - 8th Feb!

I normally check out last minute, expedia and booking.com.

Also, Trip Advisor is good for reviews of hotels and stuff

I dunno prices or where bath/guilford are, but isn't there a high speed train from london? I'd imagine that'd be fairly cheap.

In not, there's easyjet, ryanair, cheapflights.co.uk and before you book, check topcashback, you may get some cashback on it which would save you some money.

These may or may not be the dates of my GFs birthday weekend.

If she goes missing that weekend, I know where you are!

Hahaha and they say subtlety's a dying art

I know I was wondering how you can afford it. After paying for my girlfriends lesson, I've now got £4 to last me til summer

Just take her to a hotel near your home and stick a picture of the Eiffel tower up at the window and buy some baguettes. Tada!... Paris student style

I love it, even if its just the novolty factor!!!

I gotta crappy weekend job at M&S (5:30am starts at the weekends!!) so I get a bit of money, plus loan comes through on my birthday (19th!!). So as long as I don't spend it all on celebrating I can take her away, just!

Oh very nice, is that your 19th or on the 19th? (or both?)

I worked full time all summer to avoid needing to try find time for a job, but when you've got money somehow you spend it.

There's one big flaw with the Paris gift, what on earth will you get her for her 21st?!
