Taking the €22 train from Paris to Strasbourg

I took the SNCF Ouigo train from Paris to Strasbourg in France. The cheap ticket was 22 euros for a one way trip. SNCF is the French national railway. This video also has a riverwalk of the Petite France area of Grande Ile in Strasbourg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Silent France solo travel vlog in Alsace-Lorraine

This is very nice to see Strasbourg like this ! I was born in Alsace and love the whole region, but didn't live here very long. My father and his family still live there though, I visit them from time to time, but know that I'm living in Canada, well... it's not as often as I would like. Watching this made me really nostalgic.

Oh, and btw, I feel like I should correct a very important thing (I think) : Alsace wasn't occupied by the Nazi Germany. France was occupied, but Alsace and Moselle (another region close by) were annexed, which very different. German law applied, and German conscription too. Which means that a lot of french people from those region where forced to fight under German uniform. One of my great-uncle died that way, somewhere on the eastern front, maybe around Lithuania (my grand mother never found out where sadly) since they usually shipped them there instead of having them fight in the western front where they could easily desert and go back to France.

Oh, also, if you like half-timbered houses, they aren't only an typical German architecture, you can find them elsewhere too, like in Normandie. What is funny, is that you'll see that they are pretty different. The one in Normandie have the timbers closer together than in Alsace and Germany.

Do we have to book ouigo in advance ? Book online, get the confirmation, and just show it at Gare de l’Est ?

Dear friend, We will be visiting france in may. We will be taking the train from strasburg to paris with ouigo plus. I am confused about the train station as the address "Strasbourg, Pl. de la Gare, 67000 Strasbourg, France" seems to be valid for tgv trains. Do you know if the OUIGO train will depart from here?

I wish I knew about this a few weeks ago. The tickets I found were $100 euro per person. But you live and learn. Thanks for sharing

Great video, I was out at a Belgian restaurant (in NYC) the other night, our waiter was from Strasbourg. It looks so beautiful there. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture banned the cultivation of all varieties of currants in 1912 and devoted enormous energy to rooting out existing stands, so currants are now hard to find in the USA.

[Andrew-cgzl]

follow up, since i watched the video. i decided to book the ticket. Im happy i did. this train was nicer than the euro star that i took from amsterdam to paris. (they gave us old train).... this train was nice. I def recommend to do Plus, pay little extra. its worth. i was on cart 5. pretty much had the cart to myself. easy ride. the people on the train were nice, no crazy people. i was worried about homeless people taking the train, but no worries. no pickpocketers.... i took the train back in April 2024. it was perfect.. the paris train station is huge!.. i bleieve this train was on track 23, on the far right side when i went. i def recommend to arrive early....again thank you for creating this video to ease my mind on buying this cheap ticket.

Hello. I’m planning on visiting Strasbourg from Paris in September. Do you recommend to purchase the train ticket few days in advance or we buy it at the same day at the train station. Thank you.

This is helpful! I'm planning to live in the South of France this coming summer and I want to travel solo around France and nearby countries. Could you tell me how you booked it, what website? Thanks a lot! New subscriber here. :)

Your channel has good chances to grow. Europe is much bigger than Japan. Good luck.

Where did you get tickets at this price? What site did you use or did you buy at station? As I can't find it any cheaper than €200 for trip there and back. Help would be appreciated thanks so much.

Nice and thanks for not playing music (which is usually pretty bad anyway).
