Train from Basel to Paris?
I have my ticket booked, just wondering approx how long it takes and if I will catch any good scenery?
I'm leaving at 3pm from Basel. Any idea which station in Paris that would get into? (My sister in Switzerland booked it for me over there, it saved me over $120 Australian dollars to get her to book it instead of me booking it here!) |
If you take the train at 14:54 it will be a direct connection that takes 3:40 and arrives at Paris-Est.

Assuming you are on the train leaving Basel at 1504, it is a non-stop TGV to Paris. It goes via Mulhouse and Strasbourg to Paris Est, taking 3h30. The run from Basel to Strasbourg takes you along the Rhine Valley of the Alsace region, which is full of picturesque villages. The Vosges Mountains are on your left, and the Black Forest across the Rhine in Germany is on your right. From Strasbourg the train will be on new high-speed lines, and travels through fairly flat country at a speed too quick to see anything in the near foreground.

Sorry: By 'nonstop' I mean you don't have to change trains!

Yes it is the 3.04pm from Basel.
Thanks for your advice, I am flying so much that a train ride with scenery will be lovely. I'm looking forward to it! |
