I posted this before and recommend the 91 bus from Gare de l'Est to Gare de Lyon. Est is less than 10 minutes walk from Nord. From Gare de Lyon the bus goes closer to Nord.

Just take a photo of your code with your phone and send it to your wife. The barriers will read it without any problem.

9th to 19th for me. You'll find me in the bars selling craft beer - birra artiginali.

Trenitalia app is easy to use, ticket offices can be slow. You can purchase multiple tickets on the app. No validation required for online tickets. I'm looking forward to my holiday in Peschiera in three weeks time.

I'm going to Peschiera in September also. We go every year. I travel from Paris to Milan, then on to Peschiera. Plenty of bars with Birra Artiginali (craft beer).

I'm waiting at Brussels. This is today's menu. Looks like I won't be eating. Why can't they offer a simple sandwich?

The 23:30 used to run to Liverpool. 23:00 is too early for the final train.If youare in a pub or restaurant in the city centre you have to leave by 22:40 at the latest.

I've walked from Europe to Flandres. It couldn't be easier. Go down the escalator and keep walking. Easier and quicker than, for instance, finding your way to the Eurostar terminal at St. Pancras from the tube.

Europe is quiet and rather impersonal. Flandres is a busy 'proper' station. I'd say 7 minutes walk maximum from Europe. Flandres has plenty of bars over the road for refreshments. There are many better bars elsewhere in the city, but the ones nearest to the station stock acceptabe local/Belgian...
