daytrip to Paris with TGV 2013-03-14

End of January Deutsche Bahn and SNCF sold return Tickets to Paris for just 50 € on the occasion of the 50-year anniversary of the Élysée Treaty (Treaty of Friendship between France and Germany). A good opportunity for a daytrip to Paris, as the TGV (French high-speed train) travels between Stuttgart and Paris in 3:40 h.
