Strasbourg, Colmar, and Basel from Paris

Rail trip from Paris through Alsace to Basel, Switzerland

Railbookers operates this 8-day, 7-night independent rail package that travels by train from Paris to Basel, Switzerland. The trip starts in Paris, then moves to historic Strasbourg, where the description points to the cobblestone streets, canals, and half-timbered homes of the Petite-France quarter. From Strasbourg, travelers take a day trip to Colmar, described as the capital of the Alsatian wine region, before the route crosses into Switzerland toward Basel. As an independent package, travelers make their own arrangements between stops rather than following a guide. It suits travelers who want a rail route through Paris and the Alsace region rather than a single-city stay. Priced from $1299 USD per person.

What to know before you look closer

  • Colmar is visited as a day trip from Strasbourg rather than an overnight stop; travelers return to Strasbourg the same day.
  • The description highlights Colmar's Christmas market as one of the town's attractions, but does not state whether this trip's departures are timed to coincide with that market.
  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary or named hotels for this package in our records, and the description available to us is cut off before it details the crossing into Switzerland; confirm the exact route and accommodation directly with them before booking.
