Good luck, Πέτρος
Bonjour. Pour un voyage à Vienne en septembre j'ai trouvé le Thalys Paris-Bruxelles puis le train de nuit NJ425. Nous tenons à faire le voyage en train de nuit car nous en avons déjà eu l'expérience autrefois.
Pour le retour il semble que le train de nuit vers Amsterdam s'arrête à Bonn et qu'il n'y en a pas d'autre. Merci de m'éclairer.
Bonjour.
Il existe également un train de nuit direct de Paris à Vienne. It ne circule cependant pas tous les jours: nighjtet NJ469
Il se peut qu'en raison de travaux, le train de nuit n'aille pas jusqu'à Amsterdam.
Il est également possible de prendre le train de nuit de Vienne à Stuttgart et de Stuttgart à Paris par le TGV direct.
Meilleures salutations, Πέτρος
