Low cost train IZY between Brussels and Paris

ME.TALK - IZY, a low cost train service from Thalys, offers you the opportunity to travel between Brussels and Paris at a great price. With fares from just € 10, a journey between the two capitals in Belgium and France has never been so cheap.

Folding seat € 10

Moreover, you choose your own rate from the available categories: folding seat (€ 10 *), standard seat (from € 19 *) and even a Standard XL (from € 29 *) option if you want more comfort. If a train ticket was always too expensive in the past, you now have the chance to finally travel cheaply between Brussels and Paris.

Until recently you could also book a non-guaranteed place. If all places were full, this meant that you had to stand between the two capitals during the ride. But usually there was always a free place. However, this has been abolished and the folding seats have been lowered in price.

Book quickly and on time

It is a pity that these were abolished, because there are not many folding seats available, I noticed the last time I travelled between Brussels and Paris. So you have to book quickly and on time. You can buy a ticket up to two months before the date of departure.

UPDATE

IZY is gone, but the low prices are still there

After 6 years by your side, the IZY-services retired on the 10th of July 2022. However, you can keep travelling at low prices (but at high speed) in the trains from Thalys.
