With many of us having holidays cancelled or postponed this year, you may find yourself dying to get away from it all even if it is only for a few days. It may be that you are still awaiting a refund from your holiday or that you have moved it to the following year so money is tight. Weekend breaks are a perfect mini get away to recharge your batteries and they don’t have to cost the earth.

Ideally you do not want to spend much time travelling on a weekend break as this will allow for more time actually on holiday lay in the sun, exploring the surroundings or hitting the shops. Paris is always a popular destination for weekend breakers in the UK as the travel time is reasonable and there is a wealth of things to do when you get there. It is a city so you can expect it to be busy. This may not be to everyone’s taste, especially if you are looking for more of a country retreat.

If you fancy something a little more slow paced, then why not look to book in to a spa hotel for a few days, you do not have to leave the hotel if you don’t want to, instead can spend the day in the sauna or pool and the evening having a lovely meal and maybe a bottle of wine.
