Should you tire of life in Paris this spring, Eurostar will whisk you through the Chunnel to London in about two and a half hours. (When new, high-speed tracks on the British side are finished, it'll be down to two hours flat.) Promotional round-trip fares for 66 euros (about $85), says this clever takeoff on the famous, 40-year-old album cover featuring slightly taller Beatles.
Sadly, there's a big, dangerous fire on the line near London this weekend; service has been suspended until further notice. The Octopus's Garden will have to wait; we're heading over to the Jardin des Tuileries.
