Bought for me and for my best friend as a small vacation ticket from Munich to Paris from Deutsche Bahn. The price was not so high and the route also looked pleasant. The information we get at an information desk at the station and we bought the tickets there. Seats we booked extra. The ride actually went very pleasant super, the staff took super care of the guests. Wi-Fi and power outlet worked great, we have had no negative experiences with. Hygiene in the train and in the toilet were super clean and you felt comfortable. In addition, arrived on time at the destination. I'll be honest, such a pleasant ride in a German train there has not been for a long time and I can only give five stars.

I recently had the opportunity to travel by train from Munich to Paris, and I have to say that I have mixed feelings overall. On the one hand, the trip was very comfortable and I had enough space to stretch out and rest. The train also had a good entertainment system on board, so I wasn't bored. On the other hand, I must say that the price of the ride was not very reasonable. I found that I paid a lot more than I expected, and that disappointed me a bit. Also, the food on board was not very good and quite expensive, so I would have preferred to bring my own food if I had known that the options were so limited. All in all, the train ride from Munich to Paris was pleasant overall, but the price was unfortunately not that attractive. If you are looking for a comfortable trip, the train might be a good option, but keep in mind that you will pay more than you expect.

The train ride from Munich to Paris was pleasant overall, but unfortunately the price for the ride was not very reasonable. The train was on time and comfortable, with comfortable seats and enough legroom. There was also enough room for luggage and a restroom on board. However, the pricing for the ride was quite high compared to other modes of transportation. There was also no option to purchase a ticket at a reduced price, which was a major drawback for me. Overall, the train ride from Munich to Paris was enjoyable, but I think you have better options for the price. It's possible that there are better deals if you plan further in advance or are more flexible with travel dates. Still, the trip was a good experience overall, but I will probably choose a different method of transportation next time.
