Six regions beyond Paris by train, and why 2026 is the year to see them

In 2026 the United States turns 250, and France has been in the story from the start. Bartholdi, who made the Statue of Liberty, grew up in Colmar. Rochambeau, who commanded the French troops at Yorktown, was born in Vendôme. Both are a direct train from Paris, and so are four more regions worth the detour. Here is where to go and how long it takes.

Child and youth passengers

The definition of "Child" and "Youth" varies by country and operator. This is why we ask for the age of young passengers.

Sometimes children below a certain age can travel without a seat for free. If you want to guarantee a seat for child passengers, enter '6' as the age of the child.
