PARIS (Reuters) – The French state is ready to help Eurostar – whose business has been hit hard by COVID-19 travel restrictions – and is in talks with the British government over the matter, French junior transport minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari told a parliamentary hearing on Thursday.

Eurostar runs the London to Paris and London to Brussels rail services that go under the Channel Tunnel.
