Working on the European Tour in Germany and France.

For a number of the years the Tour scheduled listed on the schedule the BMW International Open in Germany and the following week would be the French Open.

The German event would alternate with either Munich or Cologne but in 2015,and when these snaps were taken, the event was hosted by the Nord-Eichenreid course in the north of the Bavarian capital.

It was customary on the Monday following the German event to travel by train to Paris and boy, didn’t it lead to so many happy memories.

It was a nearly 700 klm journey in taking around six hours and it was six hours of sheer relaxtion.  The train running at speeds of around 320 kph is marketed by Deutsche Bahn as an alternative to flights.

And how popular they are.

One of the highlights, and I can speak from experience, is sitting in the dinning car enjoying a traditional german lunch while also savouring a weiss beer while the ICE makes the automobiles that you pass on the motorways like they are standing still.

ICE Train – The only to travel from Munich to Paris

Guten Appetit

In travelling from Munich there is a change of trains at Stuttgart but that’s not an issue as more often than not it is just going from platform to the next, so a very easy change and then next stop Paris.

And from Stuttgart you’re aboard France’s high-speed train – the TGV.

Last stop Paris

The TGV all set to head to Paris

And arrival at Paris Nord.
