The Anonymous Widower

London To Karlsruhe Via Paris

I took Eurostar and a TGV to Karlsruhe, using these trains.

1. Eurostar – St. Pancras 08:19 – Paris Nord 11:47 – £115 from Eurostar
2. TGV – Paris Est 13:55 – Karlsruhe 16:25 – £69.19 from Voyages SNCF

I took these pictures on the way.

Note.

1. I bought both tickets on-line.
2. Premium Economy in the new Eurostar trains is more cramped than the old ones.
3. Eurostar’s Premium Economy gluten-free breakfast more than filled a hole.
4. Paris Nord to Paris Est is just a Metro.
5. I took a diversion via Republik, which was a good place to wait in the sun.
6. I stayed in the Schlosshotel in Karlsruhe, which was one of several acceptable ones by the station.

I could probably have done the journey cheaper by flying, but it would have had more hassle.
