About the Brussels to Paris train

The train leaves from Brussels-Midi, south of the Brussels centre, and ends at the Gare du Nord in Paris. Set the date and headcount, and decide whether to add the Paris to Brussels leg now; AI Concierge sells each separately, with its own fare for its own day. Arriving at the Gare du Nord puts you in the north of Paris, a short metro ride from the Opéra, the Louvre and the grand boulevards, with Montmartre uphill to the north. If your hotel is on the Left Bank, the lines beneath the station cross the river. Paris is a city of districts, each with its own character: the Marais for old streets and small shops, Saint-Germain for cafés and bookshops, the Champs-Élysées end of town for the grander hotels. The distances from Orly, Charles de Gaulle and Beauvais shown for the hotels on this page help if the trip ends by air. The France eSIM plans linked here are for data over the border, and Where to stay in Paris shows a sample from the catalogue.
