concierge_intlWhat is the cheapest way to get from Paris to Belgium

been_there_done_thatCheapest is usually Flixbus or BlaBlaCar. Depends on what you value... Eurostar direct high-speed trains are way faster but usually cost more than low-cost alternatives. In my experience, Flixbus and BlaBlaCar are the cheapest options for this route. You can even find OUIGO train tickets starting from €10.00 if you book far enough in advance.

expats_eyetechnically walking or cycling is the absolute cheapest method. it is not very practical for most travelers though
belgium_vibesfound out that tickets from CDG to Brussels Midi are generally valid on any train from Midi to Central - so the connection is free
wallonia_mom_lifeAvoid staying near Brussels Midi station because it is an unattractive and unsafe area at night.
