On Monday, 8 June 2009, in early morning, we left
Paris for
Luzern,
Switzerland.
A Kide is very kind to send us right to
Gare de l'Est, which means the "East station", the train station where our train departed.
We arrived at the station at around 5:50am Paris time, while the train only departed at around 6:20am, so we had some time to take pictures inside the station. The kids were very happy to be able to have their pictures taken in front of two European high-speed trains:
France's
TGV (Train a Grande Vitesse) and
German's
ICE (InterCity-Express).
We took the
TGV Lyria train to
Basel, Switzerland, passing through French cities such as
Strasbourg,
Colmar and
Mulhouse. According to my
GPS, the train zoomed up to 300km/h especially on the Paris-Strasbourg leg, although it seemed to be a bit slower once the train passed through Strasbourg to Basel.
At Basel train station,
my wife managed to buy
Luxemburgerli macarons from
Sprungli. One of our favourites, indeed. :) Unfortunate...
