Lille-Europe: catching a Eurostar or TGV
Lille-Europe is a significant rail hub, with TGV services across France and international trains. From Belgium, connecting at Lille is sometimes faster or cheaper than departing from Brussels.
The transfer can therefore have the station as its destination: specify Lille-Europe or Lille-Flandres explicitly, as the two stations are close together but distinct.
A short cross-border journey
The route takes the E19 towards Mons then the A27, crossing the Belgian-French border without any urban section. It is a stable journey, little affected by peak hours apart from leaving Brussels and entering the Lille metropolitan area.
City, airport or metropolitan area
Depending on your need, the destination may be central Lille, an address in the metropolitan area (Roubaix, Tourcoing, Villeneuve-d’Ascq) or Lesquin airport. For a flight, see Brussels – Lille Airport.
