"To Paris by train" Trains: SNCF, TGV, and more Tip by Pieter11

The highspeed-train network of France (TGV = Train a Grande Vitesse, Train at High Speed) was the first one in Europe and still is the best. With Paris as the heart of this network, there are connections to all over the country and abroad as well. All connections have their own names:

- Eurostar for the UK
- Thalys for Belgium and Holland
- TGV for France and Spain
- TGV Est Europeen for Germany
- TGV Lyria for Switzerland
- Artesia for Italy

And all these destinations depart from different stations in Paris as well:

- Gare du Nord for the UK, Belgium and Holland
- Gare de Lyon for Italy and Switzerland
- Gare d'Austerlitz for Spain
- Gare de l'Est for Germany and Eastern Europe

The connections with all these highspeed trains are fantastic: the trains are comfortable, fast and not too expensive. It is wise to reserve your tickets as far on forehand as possible because tickets generally are cheaper then, and they might be sold out as well. For all the trainstations you can get directly into the Metro-system and be on your final destination in Paris in no-time!
