When making an online booking, check that you’re looking at booking info for the direct trains - if you particularly want to avoid the transfer across Paris.
Though those journey options via Paris - which involve;
(1) Taking a TGV from Marseille to Paris Gare de Lyon
(2) Making the transfer from the Gare De Lyon to the Gare Du Nord
(3) Taking a Thalys train from Paris to Bruxelles,
can be cheaper than taking these direct trains - so un-tick those 'direct train' options if you also want to check the alternative journey options and compare them with these direct trains.
