Avios points can be used on Eurostar but you will have to transfer them to an avios.com account first.
The cost of getting to Paris is going to eat up most of the APD savings but will still have to pay up the France departure taxes. There are GBP74 taxes ex CDG in business class vs GBP174 ex LHR or GBP148 ex LGW
Most (or all) of GBP74 would be eaten up getting to Paris vs departing from Gatwick
