Last April on the Eurostar train I bought for £20 two Navigo Easy Cards to be used for 2 people for travel in both directions between Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyons – for which purpose we used them. I’m now soon back in Paris, still have these 2 Navigo Easy Cards and am wondering whether there might be more Metro ticket-power left on the cards than I’d expected. Does anyone know how many Metro tickets worth gets loaded on to those Navigo Easy Cards sold on Eurostar? Could it be more than two tickets?

I’m pretty sure that the ones sold on Eurostar only have a couple of tickets as they charge a premium. However, you can download an app to check how many tickets are left or check at a machine when you arrive:

In April 2025 the Navigo Easy Pass purchased on the Eurostar was pre loaded with 2 tickets.

Whenever you pass a turnstile, there is a small LCD screen that tells you how many tickets are left on your Easy card. You can also ask at any service/sales window and staff will read the card and let you know what remains.

and when you load the card on a machine in the metro, it also tells you how many you have left before you add additional tickets.

You can actually now just buy metro tickets using the Apple Wallet on an iPhone. Just go in to the Wallet, tap the +, select "travel card" and scroll past all the Chinese cities till you get to Paris.
I don't know if that works with Android Phones as well.. Maybe someone can confirm?
In my case I could even transfer the ticket to my Apple Watch and open the turnstiles at the metro with that...

nope. Instead of the lots of Chinese cities in iOS land, the Android wallet is absolutely flooded by dozens of US cities and little else.
No Paris, no Íle de France, no Navigo. No Vienna or Rome or Venice either.
