Got a Ryanair flight from Birmingham to Paris Beauvais. To get to the centre of Paris, there’s a bus from the station for €18. Stayed for 4 nights at St Christopher’s Inn Gare du Nord (€118 with breakfast - 15% off deal). Travelled by train to Lille for €36 (www.sncf-voyageurs.com/fr). 3 nights there at CÀLM Appart Hostel (€102 with breakfast). Flixbus to Amsterdam for £9.71 (TrainPal app). Stayed at St Christopher’s Inn The Winston for 4 nights (€116 with breakfast - 15% off deal). Train to Brussels for £43 (TrainPal app). Stayed at Generation Europe Youth Hostel for 5 nights (£128 with breakfast). Flixbus to Strasbourg (£19). Stayed at Auberges de Jeunesse for 1 night (€56 with breakfast). Back to Paris by Flixbus (£32) and stayed at St Christopher’s Inn Canal for 7 nights (€206 with breakfast - 15% off deal). EasyJet flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Birmingham for £51. I highly recommend all of the hostels. Superb staff, facilities, and breakfasts
