TGV: Am I a joke to you??

I travelled with high speed trains from Germany to Barcelona via some French cities. Not fucking over the climate because I want to have a good time is the least I can do.

If you're close enough, you can walk.

ETA I'd expect there are fast rails from Berlin to Paris, and if not, why not?

You can go from France to Germany by tram in 20 minutes tho. (If you live in Strasbourg of course)

If we're charitable and assume he means from Berlin to Paris, then he's got a point. That's a pretty long journey better done by plane, sadly. People do take the train, but usually not for practical reasons.

Paris - Berlin is 1h50min by plane and the direct train takes 8h17min using the direct train. For security checks you can add about 3h to the flight and a bit more as the train stations are probably close to the destination.

The main problem is a lack of hsr track in Germany. If that would be fixed, then trains would be faster then planes in practical terms. Paris - Marseille happens to be only a bit shorter and it is much faster in a train.
