Ticket to border with Single Country Pass

Question

I am planning to travel to France with the Single Country-France Pass. I am traveling from Cologne, Germany to Brittany. The first part of the trip would be a Eurostar train from Cologne Hbf - Paris Nord (e.g.: EST 9426). As I understood, the single country pass does not allow for an included trip to the border within the home country, as the Global Pass does. The Eurostar goes from Cologne to Paris, via Belgium.
The question is now, which ticket option I would need to cover the leg from Cologne to the part where the train enters France and technically becomes valid?
Do I need to buy an additional ticket for this part or what are my options?

Any help or tips & tricks are much appreciated :)

You can’t travel on Eurostar with a one-country pass. If you really want to use this specific train, you either have to get a normal fare or get a global pass plus the reservation.

Theoretically you could get a regular ticket to the first station in France and use a Eurostar reservation for the rest. But this will likely be much more expensive.

If you want further advice please mention travel date.

Unfortunately as far as I know Eurostar only offers passholder fares if your pass covers both the origin and the destination. You'd therefore need to buy a regular ticket to Paris.
