The NEW Eurocity Train Brussels - Paris is a True Game Changer

Bonjour à tous!

For the past 28 years, Thalys and Eurostar have been the only operators on the Paris-Brussels route, leading to skyrocketing prices and limited availability, leaving passengers with few choices. However, with the #Paris2024 Olympic Games, a new Eurocity service could be a true game changer.

Enjoy, and don't forget to like/leave a comment to help the channel :-)
