Lille is European Capital of Culture for 2004. Now that Eurostar, the UK official carrier, takes only one hour and 40 minutes to get from the centre of London to the heart of Lille, we are celebrating by giving away a pair of first-class return tickets for one lucky reader, who will discover an exciting programme of events - covering theatre, art and design, music, fairs, spectaculars, dance, cinema and literature - running throughout the year (details: www.lille2004.com). Eurostar’s first-class package includes roomy, reclining seats with a complimentary drink and newspaper or magazine. A three-course meal with wine is served at your seat, so you can sit back and watch the countryside whiz by at up to 186mph and arrive refreshed and ready to go. Up to nine trains travel to Lille daily and return fares start from pound;55. Details: 08705 186 186; www.eurostar.com.
