So I saw this on my Facebook yesterday. Paris by train from London for £34.50.

Although apparently it's pretty hard to find a weekend ticket.

if thats a one-way price on eurostar, thats the normal base price (ie £69 return). The sooner you book the fares, the better chance you have of getting the base price (fares are released 6 months in advance, sometimes earlier).

They actually start at £29.50 (especially handy as you can use a credit card for free on any purchases under £30).

If this is the Eurostar deal, it was in the MSE weekly email last Friday. I expect all the weekend seats may have gone by now.

There are still lots of £29.50 weekend fares, but the early and late trains have been booked up so I don't think you'll find any suitable for a weekend day trip. Most of them won't get you there until 2/3pm or so - but that could still work out for a long-weekend if you come back on the Monday.

Well hotels are generally cheaper on Sundays, so going late on Saturday and coming back on Monday will work out nicely.
Will have a look.
