Thanks to the direct TGV® and ICE trains, you’ll get from Paris to Frankfurt in less than 4 hours.
Book your tickets four months in advance to get the best fares on offer.
Your journey begins at Paris Est train station, where you’ll find TGV® and ICE trains (regrouped as “TGV®/ICE Germany) offering daily connections to Frankfurt.
The TGV® or ICE trains will take you to the city of Frankfurt in only 3 hours 48 minutes, passing by Strasbourg or Forbach and with a few intermediary stops (among others in Mannheim).
Your arrival station is Frankfurt Hbf, the city’s central station. Here, numerous public transportation services connect to tourist and business sites in a few minutes, as well as to the airport. An important rail hub in Germany, Frankfurt Hbf also provides you with links to other German cities or destinations such as Switzerland, Austria or Eastern Europe.
Due to engineering works near Cologne, the ICE trains connecting Brussels with Frankfurt will be diverted around Cologne from Friday 14 November to Sunday 23 November 2025.
As a consequence, they will not be serving Köln Hbf (central station) as usual, but will be calling at Köln-Ehrenfeld suburban station (North-West of the city centre) instead.
Please check the adapted schedules in our journey planner if you travel to/from Cologne or if you have to change trains in Cologne.
