Greetings,
Planning on three adults taking the Train from Paris to Munich on Saturday, September 8th. Do desire comfortable seating. Any suggestions and tips. Thank you.
Looking at the website of the Deutsche Bahn you have excellent connections with only one change of trains. Advance-bought tickets can be as cheap as EUR 49,90. There is no need for first class: second class is comfortable enough for most people.
Use the »Further options« function to adjust the connection time. Using the standard setting, the planner gives a connection between trains of only 14 minutes, which is a little bit short at an unknown station. A connection time of 30 mins is better for your peace of mind. Using that setting, it gives a connection in Mannheim of around 1 hr. Perfect for a lunch, a coffee or whatever is on offer.
Identical question on the Transportation forum.
