Preston to Paris, Brussels and the Continent by train
Preston's history dates back to ancient times, with the first record of the Town documented in the Doomsday Book in the 1086 as "Prestune". The River Ribble borders the city and the Forest of Bowland forms a backdrop to Preston which makes it a ideal place for days out and walks. That's a bit about Preston, but the best thing about Preston now, is that we have teamed up with several UK train operating companies so you can travel all the way to your continental destination paying just one price*.
There are lots of places to explore abroad... in Paris, cruise along la Seine in a relaxing sight-seeing boat or catch a glimpse of the Mona Lisa and other great works of art in Musée du Louvre. In Brussels, don't forget to see the amusing small bronze fountain sculpture, the Manneken Pis.
