How do I figure out the train schedules for France, including Paris, Switzerland, and Germany. I have gone to many website but all seem geared for buying tickets. I need to figure out what times trains leave and when they get in, including all my options.<BR><BR>Suggestions?<BR><BR>Also, is there a map of the Paris train stations with names?

The German rail site is good for info and schedules for all of Europe.<BR><BR>www.bahn.de<BR>click on TIMETABLES in the column on the left for English.

I agree with poster above.<BR><BR>The German site is excellent.<BR>

The SNCF.COM site also allows you to ask for time tables from a departure point to an arrival point.

<BR>Both the German site and the Dutch site are excellent (http://www.ns.nl/international/index.cgi for the Dutch site).

Swiss time tables can be found at www.sbb.ch , click on english, or just enter from/von and to/nach to get ideas of travel times and number of train changes required. Earlier connections are &quot;frueher&quot; and later &quot;spaeter&quot;.

I like the Swiss site best, like Rach says, just put in your to and from/earlier or later. It is good to see that you decided on your trip plan posted eariler. If you would like some help with the details, let me know, I have several rescources to share if you are interested.
