Whats is the easiest way from Belgium to Paris

IS the train the easiest way to go from brussels belgium to Paris France? How much can i expect to cost? Do I need a reservation? What about a bus is that a better option? I am going in the summer if that makes a difference!

For Belgium to France trains, I believe www.thalys.com will redirect you to www.b-rail.be to book.

One way "Libys" full fare is 78 EUR. But there are often cheaper "Smilys" fare that's 54 EUR roundtrip on some trains if you book in advance. Throw away the return.

And, yes, that's definitely the fastest and easiest way.

The bus takes 4 hours, compared to 1:20 on the Thalys. Check schedule and fares at www.eurolines.com
