France requires: "PASSPORT VALIDITY:
Must be valid for a minimum of six months at entry, and valid for an additional three months beyond your planned date of departure from the Schengen area. Please note that “emergency passports” issued by U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas may not be accepted for entry into France. "

We intend to to arrive in France five days before the six month point and leave one day before. Is this likely to cause a problem? (US passport)
We will be arriving from the UK by the Eurostar train (after having flown from the US and stayed a few days). The UK only requires "PASSPORT VALIDITY: Must be valid for duration of your stay"

Will we even encounter passport control entering France? I'd think not, given UK and France are both Schengen countries, which may moot the issue? I see that Eurostar wants to see a passport
