Nuremberg to paris

and if you were to fly Ryanair to "Paris" you wouldn't end up anywhere near Paris but a train and a bus away, about 2 hours I am told; at a place called Beauvais. It is nearly as close to the English Channel as it is to Paris.

Find all this information on the German Rail (Bahn) website. I saw 7 hour, all-rail connections from Nürnberg to Paris with almost an hour to change trains in Frankfurt or Stuttgart. With sufficient advance purchase from the Bahn website, these tickets go for as little as 39€, but the lowest priced ones sell out almost immediately. More likely you can find 59€ or 69€ fares. "Flights are cheaper out of Frankfurt" If you are looking at cheap flights, don't look at RyanAir. They don't really fly out of Frankfurt. They fly out of Hahn, which is closer to Luxembourg than it is to Frankfurt and is only accessible by bus or car.

The flight is Air France direct from Frankfurt to Paris. Thanks for your postings.

Hi, Good that your flight Frankfurt-Paris is on Air France. The train from Gare du Nord (Paris) to Beauvais is ca. one hour. It's a very nice nice, quaint small town between Amiens and Paris, esp if you want to see one without it inundated by tourists. I took a day trip there from Paris last summer, was heartily recommended to me, and wished I had left Paris two hours earlier than I did... not enought time in Beauvais.

Depending on the date there are some pretty cheap direct flights on Air France from Nuremberg to Paris (Charles de Gaulle airport). If you were to go by train to Frankfurt, it wouldn't make much sense to get on a flight from there, since you would waste time waiting and checking in-- and the Frankfurt-Paris trains are super high speed (200 mph through much of eastern France).

Thanks, that's the piece of information i was waiting for. will book the train. Thank you! Any thoughts of 1st vs 2nd class?

Hi, Between Frankfurt-Paris run both the ICE and the TGV depending on which departure. I take the ICE departure, direct. In both 1st and 2nd class the ICE is better, more comfortable than the TGV.

Thanks for your quick response. I'll book tonight! Many thanks to all who responded.

I found first class on the ICE trains pretty pointless- second class is plenty spacious and comfortable.

Nuremberg is also only a short train ride from Munich airport. But there are Air France direct flights from NUE to CDG. Sometimes one has to book a roundtrip even if one only requires a one-way... Round-trips can be much cheaper.
