Detailed itinerary
Paris - London
You probably already know this, but as of today, Eurostar is the only train company connecting France and Belgium to the United Kingdom via the Channel Tunnel.
As for fares, I recommend booking at least a month and a half in advance if you want to find a round-trip ticket for under €100.
Another important point: since the United Kingdom is not part of the Schengen area, passport and security checks can take quite a bit of time. It’s recommended to arrive at least an hour before departure.
And the good news is that if you're a member of Club HOURRAIL!, you can enjoy an exclusive discount on your Eurostar tickets (25% off)!

Our tips for the road :
- We recommend that you book at least one and a half months in advance if you want to find a return ticket for less than €100.
- Another important point is that, as the UK is not part of the Schengen area, the passport and security checks can take a long time. We recommend that you arrive at least one hour before departure.
