Izy () was a low-cost train service between Brussels and Paris. Services started on 3 April 2016, and ended on 10 July 2022.
==Background== Based on the Ouigo train service by SNCF, Thalys began its own low-cost service to compete with international coach services such as Eurolines and Megabus, and car pooling services such as BlaBlaCar. At its peak, Izy operated up to three services per day using two TGV high speed train sets leased from SNCF. Since 2020, Izy operated only four return trips between Friday and Monday.
