Paris: Around 25 percent of trains on the Eurostar network, whose routes include Paris-London, were cancelled Friday following massive sabotage against the French high-speed rail system, the company said.
"This will also be the case" on Saturday and Sunday, Eurostar said in a statement.
Beyond the cancellations, Eurostar trains departing and arriving in Paris will run on regular lines rather than high-speed routes.
That would add an extra 90 minutes onto a Paris-London trip that usually takes around two hours and 20 minutes, Eurostar said.
The company expects the disruption to be cleared by Monday morning.
