This week I'll be taking you on what I believe is the best way to travel from Germany to France... by DB's premium ICE train. This joint operation between DB and SNCF makes six round trips a day between Frankfurt and Paris, reaching 320km/h on France's LGV Est, one of the fastest railway lines in the world. So join me on this amazing high speed journey across two of Europe's key countries!
