How can I get to Paris for less?

Bloody hell, that's very reasonable. Is that with a Family
Railcard (or whatever the latest incarnation of that is called)
or just standard fares?


Yep, with a Family Railcard.



God, it makes it not much more than three times the price of using
a car.


But you don't have to shell out several thousand for a car, money for
road tax, some for insurance, and more for maintenance of the car.
