In late Dec we will be travelling by train from Paris to Brussels.What can we expect to see along the way?eg historic sites etc.Thanks for repiles.

Don%26#39;t expect to see much of interest from the train in 1h20. You%26#39;ll see lots of empty beet fields at that time of year as well as some winter wheat.

The TGV tracks avoid most of the towns.

It is nevertheless a very pleasant ride.

pleasant and completely uneventful. I%26#39;d hit the bar car. :)

There is the occasional small WW1 military cemetary alongside the track, but that%26#39;s about it

If it%26#39;s early morning or from late evening onwards you%26#39;ll just see your own reflection from the window as it%26#39;ll be dark outside and if its a dull grey December day then that might be all you%26#39;ll see at anytime.

The Thalys trains are comfortable and fast, just bring a book,listen to music or as previously said, hit the bar.

The only thing I%26#39;ve found of interest is the first bit as one leaves Paris and the last bit as one arrives in Brussels. It%26#39;s only then that the train moves slow enough to see anything that isn%26#39;t a blur.

You can expect to see the pages of a very interesting book.
