Hello everyone.
I am wondering if anyone has ever taken the train from Sweden to France. I searched the forum but did not find anything related.
If anyone has done this, how did you book the tickets? When I go onto www.bahn.de and try to book the tickets I get a message stating no pricing information is available and that I can not purchase the tickets on the internet. Does anyone have any idea how I might go about doing this? I tried calling the phone number but either I am dialing the wrong country code or the number is not a valid one!
Thanks in advance!

Generally any train journey that involves more than 3 changes wont receive a price from DB online + it needs to pass through a part of germany.

So if you plan to go from say Stockholm to Paris.
You would look for tickets on bahn.de from Stockholm to Hamburg (and see a price)
Then you would look for a ticket from Hamburg to Paris. (and see a price)

Thanks everyone for the replies.
My husband did a little research and found some prices but you are right, not cheap.
So we are just going to fly.
We are going from Kristinehamn to Gueret. So once we fly into Paris we will take the train from there to Gueret.
Thanks again everyone.
