High prices in the bistroI travelled from Paris to Rotterdam by train and was largely satisfied with the journey. Firstly, a few words about punctuality: the train wasn't late for the entire journey. The journey was also relatively short at 3 hours. The train was clean and tidy, which also applied to the toilets. You could get snacks and coffee in the bistro, but at a relatively high price in my opinion. Otherwise, I can definitely recommend the journey.
