Hey guys,
What is the cheapest way to get from Paris to Karlsruhe? I know there is a train running between them but they are a little bit expensive. Are there other cheaper options like a overnight bus ride or something?
Cheers
www.touring.de - Normal one-way fare EUR 42-46. Specials from EUR 25.
If you book in advance, you can get a train ticket from 29 Euro on. For a three our train ride this looks like a very good deal to me.
The only international bus company I know of is Eurolines, but I don't know if they operate this route.
If you book in advance you can get a train ticket for EUR 39,00. These tickets do however sell out fast. You can book at earliest 89 days before departure.

Abalada, from 39 Euro? The TGV tickets start at 29 Euro, don't they? At least that's what the website states.
Usually the DB specials are priced at 29,- for domestic, and 39 for international tickets. Maybe that's where the confusion comes from.
What I would do is.
a) Try to get a cheap ticket on a direct train. Buy this from www.sncf.fr (pretending you're french to avoid being send over the raileurope...)
b) failing that, buy the cheapest ticket you can get for Paris - Strassbourg. Use local transport from Strassbourg to Karlsruhe.
The ICE specials Paris - Karlsruhe start at 39 Euro, but the TGV ones at 29 Euro.The regular fare is also cheaper for the TGV, 87 Euro. This is according to the bahn.de website, so I hope it's correct.
If you like meeting new people, you could check out shared rides:
http://www.mitfahrzentrale.de/index.php?landnr=D&lang=GB
Paris-Karlsruhe should be around 30€. Most of the offers will be in German though.
there also is www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de, but it's only german.. it has more offers though. If you are interested, i can give you instructions on how to use it.
If you come to visited Karlsruhe stop at the tourist office and get a WelcomeCard (about 9.5 €), it will give you free ride with all the public transport in Karlsruhe (for two days) and some vouchers for points of interessed (museums,...).
Karlsruhe is located on the Rhine River in an area, where since more than 4000 years people settled. fromm 400 to 100 A.D. the Celts lived here. Then tha Romans came and left. Small towns and villages were build and destroyed again.
The modern town of Karlsruhe was founded in 1715 by Count Karl. That is why the town was called "Karlsruhe": The restplace of Karl.
The palace was build to please the count.
On Marktplatz (Market square) you can see the town hall, the Evangelical church and a small pyramid. This is the grave of the city's founder; Karl III Wilheim, Margrave of Baden Durlach.
When I was in Karlsruhe, almost every day there were lots of flowers stalls in this square.
Karlsruhe is my husband's hometown and I learnt to love that place as well:
it is a rather quiet city, has a beautiful surrounding like the Black Forest or the Alsace/France, great weather conditions - well, and for me it has the most special person in the world!!
You just got to love this place!!!
Yes - Karlsruhe was the place ive first met to my foreigner 'ZZ fans' , its true at that time they havent known it. Maybe they read my thoughts and then they feel something differend than before. This is my last picture about Karlsruhe. Its a quite animal-sex - or what else?? But fun. Love ya Karlsruhe.
