We all know Paris as the city of love, but new research by none other than rail operator Eurostar and short-term let platform Airbnb has revealed 60 percent of parents are considering the French capital for their next family getaway.
Sure, romantic walks along the Seine and dinner at beautiful, candlelit bistros are still staples of Paris’s offering, but the research indicates families are being drawn to the city’s history and interesting landmarks as well as ease of access.
That’s why the two companies have joined forces to offer families the chance to experience Paris for free. Yes, you read that right.
RECOMMENDED: Here’s everything to see at Paris’s Pompidou Centre before it closes later this year.
It’s just been announced that there’s a competition open for 10 different families to win tickets on the Eurostar (up to four per family in standard class) and a stay worth up to £1,000 through Airbnb. All you have to do is say why you and your family would love to explore Paris.
To be eligible, you’ll need to be a UK resident aged 18 or over, and you need to have an Airbnb account. Winners will be selected by an independent judging panel.
Intrigued? Of course you are. Submit your application here by March 3 and you and the fam could well be on your way to Paris for cheaps this year.
