Is there more than one train service? Which is best? (fastest, best value)<BR>

From PARIS, that is.

Well, it would make sense that there might be a more local train to Lille, and then some connection onward to Brussels - - possibly cheaper in some way - - but a search on www.sncf.com for any arbitrary morning just shows the Thalys service which leaves every 30 minutes, takes 85 minutes, Paris Nord to Brussels Midi, and costs 63.50 euro for second class.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

We've taken the TGV from Paris to Lille, then local train to Brugge.<BR><BR>I imagine you can take a train from Lille to Brussels without taking the Thalys, but I haven't checked the SCNF site. I DID find, when making our plans, that I got more choices on the site when I broke it into 2 segments: asking for Paris-Lille, then Lille-Brugge. Taking Thalys would have been twice as expensive, and almost the same amount of time.<BR><BR>Keep in mind this is all Paris-Brugge info.
