Paris set to attract Easter holidaymakers

Many British holidaymakers will be spending this year's Easter break in Paris, according to a travel firm.

Thomas Cook said that traditional city breaks in places such as Rome, Barcelona and Venice were likely to be very popular next month.

However, the company said the French capital was set to be a particular favourite for leisure travellers during the easter season.

This was attributed to recent improvements in the transport network, such as the creation of a high-speed rail link from London.

A spokesperson for Thomas Cook commented: "Eurostar's recent move to St Pancras [makes Paris] more accessible throughout the UK."

The rail link to the city was launched late last year and offers shorter journey times than previous services.

Passengers can now travel by train from London to Paris in just two hours and 15 minutes.

According to currency specialist HiFX, the new rail link has also fuelled interest in the country's property market among British investors.
