Hi. At the risk of appearing redundant, I am trying to 1-find out what train station to choose on the DB website (is it Luxembourg Gare?) closest to LUX airport. 2- how we get from LUX to the train station. 3-a name of a train station in Paris served by a line that connects the two cities. 4- and I too have been unsuccessful getting a fare to calculate for this trip. Saw the hints about Trier through Saarbrucken, but can't get LUX to Paris to calc, and don't know the legs. We're usually fans of driving, and yes, raileurope was not comparable even w/tolls, gas, and parking.
THANKS

Trains from Luxembourg to Paris depart from Luxembourg Gare and arrive at Gare de l'Est. According to the LUX site, bus #16 runs from the airport to the train station every 10-15 minutes. Depending upon your departure time, the standard 2nd class fare for a direct TGV from Luxembourg to Paris ranges from €81 to €102. Booked well in advance (up to three months allowed) at tgv-europe.com, you can get a Prem's fare as low as €35. To keep the site in English and to avoid being bumped to the Rail Europe site which doesn't offer discount fares, choose Great Britain as your country of residence and Luxembourg as your ticket retrieval country. You will be able to print your own tickets. Note that Prem's tickets are for a specific departure time and are non-exchangeable and non-refundable. If your plane is late and you miss your train, your tickets will be worthless and you'll have to buy new ones at full fare. To see all routes on tgv-europe.com, including those that require connections, uncheck the "Direct trains" box.
