Guy Betsy, unless you can book in advance, you probably won't find better than 78 euros.

Thank you!

I did try the Smiley trip but it kept giving me something like €82 return. I am trying to find something on Jan 31st...

On searching the above site, THALYS does have a 'last minute' internet fare for as low as €20 oneway! But I can only check on Monday 29th for travel from that Wed on till the following Tue.
