By car about 3 1/2 hours if you don't encounter excessive commercial traffic, detours or inclement weather.

Thanks, all. We actually ARE planning to take the train when we head to Brussels from Paris. However, the relatives we are visiting in Brussels suggested getting together before the appointed day and I was trying to figure out if either we or they could "pop over" to see each other easily.

Another bit of news from this fall is that Thalys now has trains from CDG Airport as well as Paris North. So if you are flying into CDG, you can catch <BR>the Thalys there. It also cuts the time <BR>to about 1:15. <BR> <BR>Bon voyage, <BR>Jerry

Regarding the suggestion to get pricing info from www.raileurope.com - - beware that the prices litsed there are 15-100% more than you will pay if you buy your ticket in Europe. And that doesn't even count the postage and handling they tack on. <BR>
