Book in advance

Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Paris to Strasbourg by booking early.§

Be flexible with your travel times

Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.

Choose a slower or connecting train

It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare.

This is dependent on the individual train operating company you travel with.

A friends trip from Paris to Strasbourg by train

I took the train from Paris to Strasbourg to visit a friend from university who lived in Strasbourg at the time. I travelled with two other friends on a TGV INOUI train on a Friday afternoon in February 2023.

At the train station

Trains to Strasbourg from Paris depart from Paris Gare de l’Est. This station is easily accessible by public transport – metro lines 4, 5 and 7 stop here, for example.

I was travelling with some friends, and we’d caught a Eurostar train from London to Paris that morning. This meant it was super simple to find the right train station – Gare de l’Est is just a 5-minute walk from Gare du Nord, where Eurostar trains from London arrive.

As our train to Strasbourg departed at around lunchtime, we decided to grab some food before we left to eat on the train. There are boulangeries on the streets surrounding the station, as well as some shops in the station building itself, so we had plenty of choice.

Boarding the train

Boarding the train was simple. You can scan your ticket at the ticket gates to access the platform. Sometimes, there are members of staff who will scan your ticket instead. Either way, simply scan your ticket and go!

Your ticket contains all the information you need about where you’re sitting, including your carriage number and your seat number. Everyone has a reserved seat on high-speed trains in France, so it’s important to sit in the right spot.

One quirk of French trains is that often, they’ll have two levels. My friends and I had seats reserved on the top deck of a carriage, so we headed up the stairs with our luggage. Luckily, there are lots of places to store bags on board, so we didn’t have a problem. Remember: it’s mandatory to label your bags when travelling on trains in France.

The train journey

Our train left on time at 12:46 pm. We settled into our seats and tucked into our lunch, watching the countryside roll by as we sped towards Strasbourg.

It’s worth knowing that there’s also a café bar on board TGV INOUI trains, in case you’re peckish and you haven’t been able to pick up any food beforehand. Whether you’re searching for breakfast, a mid-morning pick-me-up or a whole meal, there’s plenty to choose from. There are also toilets and free WiFi available.

I took some knitting to work on during the journey while my friends chatted. We didn’t have long to wait before we reached our destination, though! The journey from Paris to Strasbourg on TGV trains is direct, with many trains making no stops along the way. This means it’s a speedy trip and you can be in Strasbourg before you know it.

Arriving in Strasbourg

In less than 2 hours, we pulled into Strasbourg station, arriving right on time at 2:38 pm. From here, it’s a 20-minute walk to the city centre, or you can take public transport from outside the station.

The striking thing about Strasbourg’s station is its architecture. It’s made up of an historic building dating from the late 19th century, completely covered by a huge glass roof. It’s certainly a sight to behold.

Remember to take a walk around the Old Town while you’re in the city, and don’t forget to check out Strasbourg’s cathedral too!

View across river in Strasbourg, France

Overall, I was really pleased with how quick and easy it was to travel between Paris and Strasbourg by train, and I’d certainly recommend this trip to others.

Travelling from Paris to Strasbourg with OUIGO

Departing from Paris Gare de l’Est

I booked my train ticket from Paris to Strasbourg a couple of days before travelling – even at the last minute, I was able to get a cheap ticket thanks to the many services operated by OUIGO several times during the day.

I arrived at Paris Gare de l'Est station at around 8:15 am (my train was leaving at 8:40 am) and at exactly 11:02 am I was already at Strasbourg station. That's only 2 hours and 22 minutes of travel! I even saw shorter journeys that took less than 2 hours, but this schedule suited me better as I wanted to arrive just before lunchtime.

Arriving in Strasbourg

My OUIGO train arrived perfectly on time at the beautiful Strasbourg station. I took my time to admire the unique modern architecture of its large glass roof, which contrasts with the Renaissance style of the rest of the station.

I also liked that the station has plenty of dining options and shops, and most importantly, it’s located right in the city centre of Strasbourg. Ideal when, like me, you don't want to waste a moment of your spontaneous trip!
