SNCF Eurostar set 3225 at the buffer stops of Paris Gare du Nord.  Bcause of traffic levels, some Eurostar sets became surplus from the London-Paris/Brussels "Three Capitals" service and are used by SNCF on the Paris-Lille route.

(A similar situation happened in the UK where shorter Eurostar sets intended for the indefinitely-postponed "Regional" service were leased by GNER.)
