Door to door, flying myself to Paris was quicker than had we taken the Eurostar or flown from Gatwick, taking into account travelling to St Pancras/Gatwick, checking in etc.

Flying ourselves to Lognes in Paris including a customs stop at Le Touquet took 245 minutes.
I estimate that flying with Easyjet from Gatwick including checkin/bag collection/passport control/and a train to Lognes would take 340 minutes.
I estimate that taking the Eurostar from St Pancras 325 minutes.
