The season of Christmas markets is fast approaching, and if those who take place in Paris delight us, the markets of different European capitals particularly make us dream. Imagine that from the November 11th next time, you will once again be able to go to two of them thanks to the resumption of Night Jet night train service, suspended since August.
Paris-Berlin and Paris-Vienna back on track
Direction Berlin in Germany and Vienna in Austria, to enjoy the wonderful illuminations and Christmas markets that take over these two cities. Proposed by the SNCF in partnership with Deutsche Bahn (DB) and the Austrian railway company ÖBB, these connections were stopped since August 12 due to work carried out in France on the Épernay – Château-Thierry part, and in Germany, on the Berlin-Manheim line, as specified by our colleagues at Figaro. The SNCF specifies that “ carriers sought solutions alternatives in connection with infrastructure managers, but all create risks of irregularity or even unexpected deletion with too great a risk for customer care due to lack of alternative routes and circumvention possibilities ».
