Lyon to Brussels Map

The direct corridor follows the French high-speed network north from Lyon, bypasses central Paris on the LGV Interconnexion Est and continues towards Lille and Belgium. Depending on the train, stops include Marne-la-Vallee - Chessy, Aeroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV and Lille-Europe. Belgian high-speed line HSL 1 leads towards Brussels. Farmland and low hills dominate much of the route, with denser development around Lyon, Paris airport, Lille and Brussels.

The Lyon - Brussels train links urban stations without transfers to Lyon Saint-Exupery or Brussels Airport. Buses usually take much longer, while a flight of roughly 1 hour 25 minutes excludes airport access, check-in and arrival transfers. Several direct rail departures may be available across the day, depending on the date; the figures below are indicative comparisons, not live quotes. Electric rail generally produces less greenhouse gas per passenger than flying on this corridor.
