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.

@@solotraveleurope Yeah, that is actually the first one I saw ! Never went to Bicolline. Even though I'm a big TTRPG player, I've never really given LARP a chance haha ! But I gotta say, it looks really nice ! Oh, back to Alsace real quick : I guess you're not there anymore, but if you haven't seen it an go back there, I suggest getting out of the city a bit. There are a lot of beautiful things to see around the region. I'm a big medieval castle fan, and there are tons of ruins around. My favorite I think are the ones of the Ortenbourg castle ; there're the ruins of the Ramstein just next to it, wwhich is a castle that was built to siege the Ortenbourg (which sounds kinda insane). From there, you can also see the Haut Koenigsbourg castle on top of another mountain, which is an entirely rebuilt castle (although not entirely exactly as it was), well worth the visit !

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.

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.

I have checked both SnCF website and ouigo website. So if i book them on the same day from the gare it will be cheaper ???

Hello @@whocares7890 I am on ouigo.com right now looking at December tickets. I see fares of 49 euros, 65 euros, 39 euros, 16 euros, and 25 euros depending on the day. These are one way ticket prices so if you are going on December 3, you will have to pay 39 euros each way, so around 80 total. It is not going to be cheaper booking on the at Gare de L'Est. If you wait until the day you want to travel to buy tickets at Gare de L'Est, the tickets may even be sold out. I think the ticket is expensive in December because it is the holiday season. I hope you have a good trip.

When traveling by train in France, lowest prices will be from ouigo.com or sncf.com. Ouigo and SNCF are both owned by the French government so they are reliable. Ouigo is cheaper than SNCF. There are a lot of 3rd party websites which resell government tickets. You'll be spending extra money for no reason so always buy from the government. I know someone who booked a ticket in Ireland through a third party that cost twice as much because they just clicked on the first Google ad instead of checking. If you're unsure if the website is a government website, Google the company name. I use Google Chrome, which can automatically translate websites, so I had no issues booking on Ouigo.com even though I can't read French well. Ryanair tickets are cheap for plane travel. I have more videos coming up from France, Italy, Spain, and more so thank you for subscribing to me!

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?
@solotraveleurope
@solotraveleurope 2 ай бұрын
Yes, that is where Ouigo departs from, along with other train types. It's Strasbourg's main station. If you go to this website and put Paris as your destination with Strasbourg as your departure city, you will see both Ouigo and TGV trains. The Ouigo ones are the cheapest ones. www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/ouigo
