I've found that it's often better, rather than buying a cheap advance
Eurostar ticket, to buy a package holiday to Paris or Brussels. You
don't have "Saturday night stay" problems, and even if you don't use the
hotel it can be cheaper than the fares alone.

Interesting, I'll have a look at that, thanks. I noticed the SNCF
Voyages website quoted me some fares in EUR which were a lower number,
never mind price, than if I selected GBP. If I clicked the button to
get the tickets sent from France rather than Rail Europe, it was
something like EUR50 vs GBP75.

No doubt there is something in the small print to say I'll get chucked
off at the French equivalent of Denton if I try it!
