What's the best way to travel from Brussels to Paris? Nothing could be faster or easier than by train, of course!
The choice is yours: Eurostar, the red high-speed train, connects the two capitals in a record time of just 1 hour 22 minutes. OUIGO is a bit slower, but offers 3 daily connections to Paris at unbeatable prices.
Remember to book your tickets in advance (up to 6 months before departure) to get the lowest fares.
Whether you prefer the high speed and comfort of Eurostar or the low fares of OUIGO Brussels-Paris, you'll board at Bruxelles-Midi, Brussels' main international train station.
In both cases, you will arrive at Paris Nord station, right in the centre of Paris. Many bus, metro and RER lines, as well as local train connections, will take you to every part of the French capital or enable you to continue your journey beyond Paris.
If you like walking, you can even take advantage of the station's central location to start your visit of Paris on foot.
Update 19/5, 7h25 am
Due to a strike, the rail service on the Belgian rail network will be limited from Monday 19 May (10 pm) to Tuesday 20 May 2025 included.
An alternative train service will be drawn up based on available train staff. Take this alternative train service into account if you need to take a domestic connection in Belgium before or after your international train journey, or if you need to take our regional trains shortly across the border (Roosendaal, Maastricht, Aachen, Luxembourg, Lille or Maubeuge). More details on this alternative train service are available on www.belgiantrain.be.
All TGV INOUI, OUIGO and ICE trains operate normally. Likewise, most Eurostar trains will operate normally (except for 2 trains in both directions between Brussels and Paris).
However, several EuroCity and Eurocity Direct trains that connect Belgium and The Netherlands are cancelled on Tuesday 20/05.
EuroCity: 12 trains out of 16 will operate in each direction. Cancelled trains:

Due to planned engineering works between Halle and Braine-le-Comte, the OUIGO service between Brussels and Paris will be diverted via Nivelles and Erquelinnes on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 May 2025, resulting in longer journey times and no intermediate stop in Mons that weekend.
Please check the adapted schedules before you depart.
