Christmas Markets in Rouen or Strasbourg-Paris Day Trip Train Frustration

Good morning all! After an hour or two of frustration, I'm asking for help from the experts. I've tried in vein forever to at least get fares or book train tickets between Paris and Strasbourg or Rouen for a day trip to the Christmas Markets on November 30. We are within 90 days now, but the return trip from Rouen immediately jumps to Sunday and says schedule not available for November 30 RETURN. It gives me a fare an schedule for the outbound. With regard to Strasbourg, similar situation. Thinking we should do Rouen as it's closer and MUCH cheaper to get there by train. I really want to book as this is the first day of the market and our second to last day in Paris. I was trying on the tgv.com web site. Any advise is very much appreciated! Theresa

PATIENCE. The schedules are not loaded. Wait a few days and try again. The Strasourg markets are much nicer and larger. Go there if you have the time. See what bahn.de says.

Thanks, Frank. I really would prefer Strasbourg, so I may just have to dig a little deeper in the pockets. HA! I'll check out the German web site, and otherwise, I'll sit back and wait a few days. We are just quite limited on our option as to really just the first day, the 30th.
