Paris to Strasbourg by trainParis to Strasbourg by Train: A High-Speed Journey Through France’s Grand Est
By Harry Bellow
Harry BellowTravel Writer and Content Creator
Content creator and travel writer based in Luxembourg, with a passion for exploring Europe by train, bike, and foot. He has personally taken the Paris to Strasbourg route and shares firsthand travel tips through his blog and social videos.
I have traveled all across France, and I genuinely think there is no better way to explore the country than by high-speed train. They are fast, reliable and comfortable, and there’s no waiting around as you would in an airport — just show up and hop on! Plus, the route from Paris to Strasbourg by train takes you through some iconic parts of France.

Route overview
The Paris to Strasbourg train is mostly operated by SNCF. However, a few departures with final destinations in Germany are operated by Deutsche Bahn. The 500-kilometer route begins in the heart of Paris and winds through the rolling countryside of Champagne and Lorraine, over the Vosges Mountains, and into Strasbourg—the vibrant capital of France’s Alsace region. It’s an efficient, comfortable ride with over 20 direct departures every day. The high-speed trains will get you from station to station in as little as 1 hour and 46 minutes, which is seriously impressive.
Transportation experience
My short time on the Paris to Strasbourg train was filled with delightful views of the French countryside and a nice moment of peace sipping on coffee in the train’s onboard cafe — all while traveling at 300 km/h. I barely noticed the time pass. It was smooth, quiet, and a great way to reset between two major cities.
Departure station
Paris Gare de l’Est is located just 10–15 minutes north of the city’s main attractions by either taxi or metro. It has a simple, flat layout throughout, with no escalators or elevators. Gare de Strasbourg is just as convenient, about a 10-minute walk to the city center and with tram stations directly outside. Both stations offer luggage storage and clean restrooms.
Schedule & frequency
There are over 20 daily trains from Paris to Strasbourg. They depart every 30 minutes or less during the morning and evenings, with fewer traveling in the midday. Although the options are frequent enough for flexibility, I highly recommend booking advance train tickets to secure a lower price before the day of travel. I booked my Paris to Strasbourg train two weeks in advance. If you're returning the same day or later in the week, you can also check trains from Strasbourg to Paris on Omio for up-to-date departure times.
Onboard experience & services
I was very satisfied with my non-stop journey from Paris to Strasbourg by train — the seats were comfortable, and the train’s cafe was nice to hang out in. There were spacious folding tables and power sockets, and the Wi-Fi was good enough to get some work done along the way. For me, Standard Class felt premium already, but there is an option for First Class with wider seats and more legroom. I had never traveled through this part of France before the journey and found myself captivated by the landscapes along the train's stretch. From the vineyards of Champagne to the rugged Vosges mountains, there was always something to be amazed by — not to mention the quiet, old countryside villages and frequent castles — because, hey, it’s France.

Ticketing advice & budget breakdown
Should I take the train from Paris to Strasbourg? The train is by far the quickest and easiest way to travel between these two cities. I highly recommend it. However, a 5+ hour bus ride can be a cheaper option. Check Paris to Strasbourg bus options on Omio if you’re curious. Prices for Paris to Strasbourg train tickets can vary drastically. To get the best prices, book at least a week ahead on Omio. And if traveling on the TGV more than once or twice, I recommend getting the Carte Advantage TGV INOUI to save at least 30% on your booking.
| Item | Cost (eur) |
|---|---|
| Ticket price | €40 |
| Food & drinks | €5 |

| Travel from arrival station | € |

Top tips & recommendations
- Book the non-stop service from Paris to Strasbourg to save 15 minutes.

- Always download your ticket in advance in case of spotty Wi-Fi.
- Pick a seat on the left side of the train to catch the best countryside views!
Conclusion
The train from Paris to Strasbourg is everything I love about traveling in France — fast, smooth, scenic, and stress-free. If you want to get from one iconic city to another without the hassle, book your train journey with Omio and enjoy the ride.
