Absolutely purchase in advance go to website and research deals. I just spent half of my last day in Paris arranging passage at Gare du Nord for travel friend to go to Brussels. You get a better break and you need to reserve a seat before hand anyway. Wait and you might get stuck in First class. I think there is a break for 21 advanced purchase, go to website.

I think you can get a fare as low as $120 according to globe trekker episode on paris. I could not see date of episode though so I don't know if this is old info.

I used "Mele" twice now, a Hawaiian travel agent (even though I live in Denver) who got me $94 tickets and sent them to me promptly).
Her web site is

http://www.meleterc.com/

Mele's e-mail is [email protected] and she will get right to you quickly.

The best thing to do is buy a RT ticket and just "not go back". A one-way ticket is $125 or so, and a RT advance "leisure fare" (if it's still available) is $94 and up -- you just throw away the other ticket.

Happy travels,

Jules

http://www.eurostar.com

Be advised that Eurostar practices an insidious form of price discrimination by offering different deals and better prices to certain nationalities.

So after you've checked into the site as American, do it again as French and British, and take the best deal. You'll need to clear your eurostar cookies to make it forget what you were the previous time.
