It's not just the high-speed attractions that induce thrills.
By the end of the year, the doors of Europa Park will open a little more for users of the
TGV INOUI
departing from Paris and Bordeaux.
They will have direct access to the
Ringsheim / Europa Park
railway station , which is less than ten minutes by car from the German amusement park.
Date of the first service:
December 11, 2022
.
The first tickets are on sale and are offered from €49 in second class from Gare de l'Est in Paris (about 2h37 journey).
Note that holders of the Avantage card will benefit from a price capped at 59 euros in second class on this journey.
It takes 6h23 from Bordeaux, with a price capped at €79 for holders of the advantage card.
Elected best leisure park in the world, from 2014 to 2022, Europa-Park celebrates Europe through its thematic districts which each represent a country.
A leading position that this kingdom of family entertainment in the Black Forest owes to its many specificities.
It is, for example, the only one to have within it a small 15th century castle, a river and hundred-year-old trees as well as a two-star restaurant, the Ammolite, located at the foot of a 35-meter lighthouse overlooking the hotel district.
Europa Park is also one of the most visited theme parks in Europe: on average, it welcomes five million visitors a year.
Until now, access from France was possible thanks to a train journey from Paris to Lahr station, punctuated by
a regional train ride to Ringsheim.
A journey somewhat lengthened by... two connections from Paris.
From now on, once they have arrived at the Ringsheim / Europa Park station by TGV INOUI and without a connection, they will be able to access the park from the station in ten minutes via road shuttles specially made available to them.
New high-speed connections from Paris and Bordeaux
SNCF also took advantage of the announcement of this new stop to expand its TGV INOUI offer between Paris, Bordeaux and Fribourg-en-Brisgau (the terminus of the line, located one stop after Ringsheim / Europa Park).
Thus, two additional trains will appear from Paris (Friday noon and Saturday morning) and one on Sunday at the end of the afternoon from Fribourg.
A new round trip is also appearing between Bordeaux and Fribourg-en-Brisgau: the first from the latter on Saturday at noon, and the second from Bordeaux on Sunday morning.
