Thalys

High Speed Train Travel connecting Paris, Brussels, Cologne and Amsterdam.

The Thalys rides the smooth, high-speed rails of Northwest Europe, linking Paris and Brussels in less than 90 minutes. For years, Thalys service has been reknowned as the fastest and finest between Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne, and Paris, but until you board that striking train, the true experience and breadth of destinations will escape you. Enjoy a light snack on your trip from Charles de Gaulle Airport to downtown Paris; relax with a glass of wine between a business meeting in Ostend and a side trip to witness the three towers of Ghent; or let the kids spread out in a private family compartment as you head off for a ski weekend. The Thalys provides ultimate accommodations in first and second class, and a pleasurable trip no matter what.
