Paris to Luxembourg with SNCF TGV 

All transport free in Luxembourg.

and all transportation trains and buses are free inside Luxembourg

We reckon your chap did very well with the filming, given the grubby windows. The Orient Express? Nah - might have to iron our t-shirts :) Thanks for another entertaining vid, very enjoyable as always.

Excellent video again Johnny, nice train, but shame about the state of the windows😟, still at least the cafe windows were cleaner. You mentioned the Orient Express, obviously there is no way I could ever justify paying all that money! However, quite a few years ago I had a day trip, from Victoria to Dover and back, on the British Pullman and it was very luxurious. I really couldn’t fault it, a welcoming glass of Champagne, and sumptuous five-course lunch as you enjoy looking at the English countryside travelling at a somewhat slower pace than 100mph! Seeing how much you love train journeys, then maybe a trip to consider for the future🤔😊

In my own experience the dirty windows are mainly a problem in winter (also in other countries). The faster a train goes, the more it picks up dirt and grime, combined will less washing cycles (because when it's freezing, I suspect they don't send them through the train washer). And the east of France has a more continental climate, with significantly more frosty days than e.g. in Bordeaux. Once beyond March, the dirty window situation visibly improves.

Idk abt the Orient Express someone might get murdered 😳😳😏

Very enjoyable journey. Excellent as usual 🔝👍

Dirty train windows, the bane of the YT travel vlogger. That being said, you still produced a very enjoyable video.

Enjoyed the video. Whenever I travel on a TGV I try to book the upper deck, better view and from the look of the departing train the upper windows were significantly cleaner.

So ... Dieppe to Paris to Luxembourg uses one day of your interail ticket ? Am I on the right track 😂?

Wonderful job as always Johnny! TGVs pretty much living up to its standards and I am always grateful living in France to be able to hop on one at my local station and be in places like Paris in a mere 5 hours from city centre to city centre. Btw, I'm still not sure about the next gen TGV-M naming moniker though... Maybe they should call it the TGX 😉 (JK and that'll be the end of that joke from me 😅)

Brilliant video! I adore Luzembourg (mostly for it's free travel!) and travelled on Belgium's national operator to Luxembourg, though your service seems a bit nicer than my train (Albeit the dirty window)! Love the SNCF 'jingle' too - you always know your in France when you hear that! Can't wait to see what else you got up to!

I did this service from Metz-Paris Est a year ago. It was my first time on a "true" high speed service at 300kmh (looking at you ICE). The speed was breathtaking, particularly when racing along the motorway.

I only travelled on TGV in 2022 between Metz and Strasbourg. Still, whilst being a TGV, it was the low cost Ouigo service which was also great

Interesting trip. Extra bonus to see the train to Venice. Also pictures from Battemburg, will be interesting to follow you in Luxemburg - will you go to Bastonge?

You are certainly making use of your InterRail ticket. Another very interesting and informative video. I travelled into Gare de l'Est a year ago from Saarbrücken. It was an ICE TGV and was very comfortable and clean (the windows too!). The only problem I experienced was on the platform at Saarbrücken the carriage correspondence displays contradicted one another. There was both an Sncf display and a Die Bahn display and my carriage A was going to be either at the rear or the front of the train. Not being able to find which was correct, I decided to stand where the centre of the train would be when it arrived from Hamburg ?? The ICE TGV arrived and of course I had to run with a large bag and a folded Brompton to my carriage ... I made it. Just in time. The journey, I must say was brilliant. Lovely scenery and the carriage monitors would display the speed. When up to speed travelling on the LGV line it really started to move. The top speed was 320km/hr. It felt like there was no contact with terra firma as we hurtled towards Gare de l'Est. A journey well worth the experience. Where to next ?

An interesting and informative video 👍🏻 those filthy dirty windows remind me of Eurostar, contrasting with clean ones in the Café car smacks to me of SNCF sticking 2 fingers up at their customers. Looking forward to the next part of your tour.

Indeed, it is recurrent, the SNCF neglects the external cleanliness of its trains. A question of image that she has difficulty taking into account.

I would be happier on the High speed trains. I've done ICE and TGV in France, and Germany.

Nice to see the Orient Express in Paris, shame about dirty windows, they are a pain, great video

Yes the ease of modern high speed rail. Something now denied for most of UK for at least the next 30 years.

Excellent, as always, many thanks! I feel another European train trip coming on this year myself.

Excellent as always JH

Really enjoyable as usual….next stop Trier? 😃

I once watched a video on the Orient Express, and found out there were no ensuite facilities. Amazing at the price! I am just home on the once a day LNER, Glasgow to Kings Cross service, and the Paddington Taunton link. More my cup of tea. It also shows my enjoyment of your videos that the first thing i do when i get home is log on to discover your latest adventure.

🚆

Great Video Johnny

Pity about the condition of the windows but still a good report, as usual. I don’t know much about Luxembourg; will have to do a little Googling.

I'll assume you can't book seats on the top deck.

Hi Jonny - Great video. Out of interest, how did you book the 8 euro Interrail booking reservation? I've only ever seen 10 euro fees for TGV, plus ended up paying an extra 4 euro booking fee on top through B-Europe. I think maybe Rail Europe now offer the reservation for only 10 euro without an added booking fee, but not tried that. Thanks.

Super men

One has to wonder what there is in Thionville to deserve a TGV stop...
