Eurostar is laying on a series of on board “masterclasses” to trains to Paris in October to mark the 25th anniversary of the start of services.

Passengers will be able to sign up to the food, arts and culture, cocktail mixing and wine classes through the Eurostar app.

Each will be hosted by a different expert, including Tristan Kennedy, arts and culture expert at travel website Culture Trip; JJ Goodman, founder of London Cocktail Club; Marianne Diemer, sommelier at five star Hôtel Lutetia and Pierre-Jean Hayes at Secret Food Tours Paris.

The masterclasses are on trains departing on October 11, 18 and 25, with places going to the first 25 passengers on those services who apply through the Eurostar app.

Marc Noaro, chief customer officer at Eurostar, said: “We have launched a series of new experiences on-board to offer our customers a preview of the very best of Parisian food, drink and culture available.

“We want our customers to experience more when travelling, so they arrive directly in the city-centre ready to make the most of their trip the moment they step off the train.”
