Can I do a day-trip to France on the Eurostar?

Question

I want to go to Lille or Paris on the Eurostar, from London, getting back the same day. Is this possible? I cannot find fares for day-returns on the Eurostar website.

Yes, you can and many people do.
You do not have to buy a package and can do your own thing if you want to.Going through an agency will cost you more than the flat rate.
Have you looked at this site?

The day trip fare is the non flexible (it is just for the day) that is £59 for an adult.
If you are unsure about the information on the net, it is free to get first hand information by phone:

This person knows what they are talking about and has given good information, rather than palming me off with any old website! great to have a freephone number too, I didn't know that one. Thank you

Of course you can do a day trip to Paris on Eurostar and if you are in the website is there not a phone number where you can enquire. You might find that you have to pay a single fare each end. Enjoy your day.
