Here is good news and above all a good plan! Eurostar offers great fares at 78 euros for a return trip during the day from Paris. Personally, I take advantage of Eurostar specials every time to take a day trip to London. And if you are wondering if in one day there is time for sightseeing and shopping: the answer is YES!
Here are the conditions and dates to remember to benefit from this good plan!
What are the conditions for a Paris-London return ticket for 78 euros?
The first condition is to make your return trip on the same day. You leave in the morning at Gare du Nord in Paris at 7 am or 43 am and arrive at St Pancras station in London at 9 am or 13 am. You spend your day visiting London and take the train in the evening at 9:00 or 10:39 p.m. to arrive in Paris at 18:01 or 19:01 p.m.
Finally, the last condition is to book your return trip no earlier than D-3
When to book for a Paris-London return ticket for 78 euros?
If you don't have anything planned for August book as soon as possible to take advantage of this promo because unfortunately, like all promotions there are quotas!
Here are the booking and travel dates
- Reservation from August 1 to 3 for a trip on August 2, 3 or 4.
- Reservation from August 8 to 10 for a trip on August 9, 10 or 11
- Reservation from August 15 to 17 for a trip on August 16, 17 or 18
- Reservation from August 22 to 24 for a trip on August 23, 24 or 25
Going to London for the day a great deal?
With the Eurostar, London is only 2 hours and 15 minutes from Paris, so getting to London for the day is easy to organize, even with the family!
In addition, with this promotion, going to London is a real good plan from a financial point of view! In fact, with the summer period and school holidays, accommodation can be very expensive in London. Therefore, having a great day in London by leaving early in the morning and returning in the evening will save you a hotel night. In addition, the vote in favor of Brexit, led to the fall of the British Pound and as a result the exchange becomes much more interesting for our wallet !!! Besides, if you are looking for good tips to make the change, I encourage you to read my article " Where to change before and during your stay in London " page (in French).
Where to book your Paris-London return ticket at 78 euros?
For my part, I always reserve my train tickets on the internet because I prefer to take the time from home to compare prices according to the departure and return dates. On the other hand, I advise you to compare the prices on the website of the SNCF and trainline because each of them has its own quotas. I have already found a return ticket on Trainline and not on the SNCF for the same travel dates.
