Haven't you bought your Christmas gifts yet? We're not throwing stones, we get it, but it might just be time to get started. And because we're nice, we're sharing an amazing idea with you: a trip to Brussels. And we can already hear you thinking: " Yeah, but I don't have any money, I've already spent too much, I'm too lazy to dip into my savings, blah blah blah... ". Well, no worries, because in just a few days, you'll be able to enjoy tickets starting from... 10€!
A (little) time investment, a (big) money saver
The new concept launched by SNCF this week is super simple: on traditional Ouigo journeys, trains will run even slower than usual to offer you tickets at mini prices. Three times a day, these slow-speed trains will depart from Gare du Nord heading for Brussels, s

They will also serve the stations of Creil, in Oise, Aulnoye-Aymeries in the North, and Mons in Wallonia, near the French-Belgian border, for a total journey of 3 hours. And honestly, for a Paris-Brussels trip, we think that it’s really not that long, especially when we know that the cheapest seats will be available from €10. And yes, we’re definitely talking about the adult fare.
When do we depart?
This offer will be available starting December 19th, with no time limit, no specific travel dates, basically, it's a dream. Tickets will be on sale from €10 (€5 for children), and they will not cost more than €59. And the cheapest ones also count in

So yes, it's more than twice the time of a Paris-Brussels trip on the TGV inOui, since those take an average of 1h20.

With three round trips available each day, you'll also have plenty of options for your schedule. We told you, it's the best idea for a Christmas gift.
