I enjoyed taking the eurostar, it is super fast, comfortable, and you don't have to deal with the hassle of security at the airport. Also, check out the eurostar website, they are offering free museum tickets included in your fare to museums like Musee D'orsay. Seems like a good deal!

The Eurostar tickets go on sale 120 prior to travel and the low cost tickets go fairly quickly. Take a look now and see if the $59 tickets are still available. Prices vary depending on day and time of day so do a little exploring. Tickets only get more expensive the closer to your travel date. The Eurostar is a treat to ride, relaxing, no hassles, and you arrive at Gare du Nord in Paris, a 20 Euro taxi ride to anywhere in central Paris.

The only reason to fly from London to Paris is if you are landing in London from another continent, want to connect to Paris immediately, and can find a flight from the same airport. In that situation, it'll be less hassle to fly. Otherwise, take the train.
