    Buy a cheap day return ticket UK to France from their website using one Credit Card for your travelling out date then, from their French site, buy a cheap day return France to UK with another Credit Card.

    I have done this for years and it works everytime. ;)

    they state in there terms and conditions if the return journey isnt used then they are within there rights to charge you full price automatically. this could result in you paying twice the amount

    Just tried it with your dates and it came up with £98. Use the link to the special offer. It needs to be leaving after 5pm and back before 11am. Sorry I got the times wrong before. Hope this works. They were also very helpful when I rang with a query.

    Old Faithful we roam the range together,
    Old Faithful in any kind of weather,
    When the round up days are over,
    And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
    For you old faithful pal of mine.
    Giddy up old fella cos the moon is yellow tonight,
    Giddy up old fella cos the moon is mellow and bright,
    There’s a coyote crying at the moon above,
    Carry me back to the one I love,
    And you old faithful pal of mine.
