Eurostar - Paris to Brussels

Question

Hi everyone,

I haven’t bought my Eurail pass yet, but my family (6 adults and a 1 year old) are travelling for 14 days in Europe from 8/27 - 9/10. We will be going from Zurich to Interlaken, Interlaken to Geneva, Geneva to Brussels, then finally Brussels to Amsterdam. We assume the Eurail pass will save us money, but need to confirm that we can get from Geneva to Brussels. When I do the “Plan My Trip” feature through Eurail.com, it shows all trains into and out of Paris are sold out, regardless of the dates I use. Even if I try for mid summer. I’ve seen people mention b-europe.com and just want to make sure that is a legitimate website, because if so, our dates are available for Geneva-Paris and Paris-Brussels on 9/1 (our planned day to travel. Any insight into your experience is greatly appreciated 😀

Sure, Eurail is valid on Eurostar. Though you need to pay a 27€ seat reservation fee (2nd class).

You're not the first one to mention some issue booking trains at the moment. Rail Europe is a good alternative (B-Europe too but it has a little booking fee per purchase).

Alternatively let me mention the route through Lyon, in order to avoid the Paris station transfer (unless you wish to have lunch in Paris of course!).

Some regional train timetables are not available yet, September is a long time away. You can check current ones and expect the same.
