Modern trainComfortAtmosphereNice staffPunctualityI really enjoyed the journey from Hamburg to Paris in second class, changing from the ICE to the TGV. Even in Hamburg I found a decent seat on the ICE, which was also comfortable. The transfer time at the station was well calculated, so there was no stress. In the TGV, I immediately noticed that it looked very modern and was clean. The seats were comfortable and the atmosphere was relaxed. There was a selection of snacks during the journey and the on-board staff were helpful. The connection worked smoothly and both trains were on time. When I arrived in Paris, I was more than satisfied with the journey. A clear recommendation.

France uses the euro (EUR) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards for most transactions, especially in cities and larger establishments, but carrying some cash is advisable for small vendors, markets, and rural areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In Paris, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like metro stations, tourist attractions, and popular shopping streets. Common scams include distraction techniques, such as people asking for signatures on petitions or offering friendship bracelets, which can lead to theft. It's also advisable to be wary of unofficial taxi drivers and avoid unlicensed cabs to prevent overcharging. Staying alert in busy places and safeguarding personal belongings helps ensure a safer visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
