Tours is reached by TGV from Paris, so any port that connects to Paris should do, eg Calais, Le Havre.

Seat61 is an excellent web site, explaining in great detail how to travel by train almost anywhere. Hope this helps.

Eurostar / TGV is fastest route. Euston to St Pancras can be walked in around 10 minutes. You'd need to use the Paris Metro to change stations from Gare Du Nord to Gare Montparnasse.
