Thalys
Travelling by train from Paris to Rotterdam has never been easier. The route is served each day by high-speed Thalys trains. Additional options are available with one easy change of trains at Brussels Midi.
The journey takes in three countries: France, Belgium and the Netherlands. All three countries are members of Schengen so, while there may be some light-touch security checks on the train, there are no border formalities as such.
Paris to Rotterdam

The sleek red Thalys trains used on the Paris to Rotterdam route are very much like regular French TGVs, but with Thalys’ own distinctive corporate decor. The departure point in Paris is the Gare du Nord. These very comfortable trains make just two intermediate stops in Belgium along the way (at Brussels and Antwerp). The route crosses Picardy and Flanders, so lots of pancake-flat terrain with glimpses of pretty towns and villages along the way.
