Hey train travelers! Has anyone taken a train from France to Germany? My brother would like to travel and wants to know how to get good deals/travel costs.
If cost is the primary factor then you'd be wise to avoid prime travel periods (especially summer and holidays), be as flexible as possible with dates/times/cities, be willing to prepay for non-refundable services when sufficiently advantageous, read the fine print and shop around. The more flexible you are with specifics and the more willing you are to pay in advance the lower the total cost will be. I've visited Europe in summer and winter and found it different but enjoyable in both cases. We traveled from Paris to Munich on TGV and didn't need to make any connections. That's probably the simplest and easiest way to do it. I believe DB offered a similar one seat option with ICE as well.Hey train travelers! Has anyone taken a train from France to Germany?

Man in Seat 61 has lots of information that was probably accurate when it was written. It's a great resource for general information and a fantastic jumping off point, but it's still best to directly reconfirm details before making any big travel decisions. In the world of international travel rules and restrictions can change rapidly and without notice.France to Germany is a verrrryyyyy wide question- there are literally thousands of station pairs possible with thousands of different fares. German railways site bahn.com is great to search schedules for trains all over Europe, not just in Germany, so start there. The Man in Seat 61 has great reliable info on where to book tickets, how to find best deals etc.
He's very good about updating that site. I follow him on Twitter. But when new information drops, he gets it up on his site fast.Man in Seat 61 has lots of information that was probably accurate when it was written.
