PARIS VIA ANTWERP

The attention of passengers is invited to the convenience of Antwerp for all destined to Paris. There are no less than eight Express trains daily between these cities and the Railway Companies operate also two “Trains de luxe” (L’Oiseau Bleu Pullman & North Star Pullman) Antwerp-Brussels- Paris for the convenience of tourists.

These trains make the run in 4 ½ hours leaving respectively Antwerp (Central Station) at 9:30 A. M. and Antwerp (Berchem Station) at 3:05 P. M. and arriving at Paris, respectively, at 2 P. M. and 7:30 P. M.

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE BRITISH CUSTOMS FOR ALLOWING THE TRANSIT OF SILK AND/OR ARTIFICIAL SILK GOODS BROUGHT AS BONA FIDE PERSONAL EFFECTS IN BAGGAGE.

The Customs Officers at the British port must, necessarily, put certain questions to passengers arriving from abroad, at which time any silk and/or artificial silk goods should be declared.

Passengers are asked to be frank and open in their declarations, and, in these circumstances, no difficulty need be anticipated with the British Customs Officials, who will facilitate all possible the transit of passengers and their baggage.

RETURN ACCOMMODATION
