Paris-Brussels by train for just €10? It's now possible, thanks to the new OUIGO Train Classique line! Not only will you be able to pay considerably less than with Eurostar for a journey time that's only slightly longer, but you'll also be able to depart more easily from an intermediate city (among the three other cities served). Schedules, cost, duration... We tell you everything.
Since this December 19, 2024, three daily trips are offered in each direction in the early morning, midday and early evening:
And the good news is that the line also serves Creil (Oise, France), Aulnoye-Aymeries (Hauts-de-France, France), and Mons (Wallonia, Belgium)!
This new pink-and-blue Paris-Brussels line offers unbeatable fares. In practice, prices start at €10 and are capped at €59 for an adult one-way ticket (with a fixed fare of €8 for children under 12), but 70% of trains open to booking offer €10 tickets!
The idea? To offer low prices in exchange for a slightly longer journey time than with Eurostar.

This new low-cost line offers a very reasonable journey time: just 3 hours to Brussels by OUIGO Train Classique (compared with 1h20 by Eurostar).
To get the best prices, you probably know the golden rule: anticipate! Reservations have been open since December 5, 2024. Otherwise, as a general rule, sales will be open up to 6 months before the circulation date.
Brussels by night
Why not take the plane, when the journey only takes 1h30?
Apart from this OUIGO Train Classique line, you can take the Eurostar high-speed train (book via SNCF Connect) - a little faster (1h22) but a lot more expensive - which offers 26 journeys a day in both directions (first departure from Paris at 6h22, last departure at 21h25).
If you want to explore the Belgian capital for a weekend or more, we recommend our Brussels guide.
And to extend your trip, we recommend these two 100% night train loops to explore Europe in 1 week from Brussels!
