"This is the first daytime direct connection between the capitals of Germany and France, and it is also a symbol of a growing Europe," said Michael Peterson, an executive at Deutsche Bahn.
"This new connection is further proof of the Franco-German friendship and contributes to a shared goal of our two countries: more CO2-free mobility," added Alain Krakovitch from SNCF.
The train is set to depart from Berlin at 11:54 a.m. and arrive at Paris' Gare de l'Est at 7:55 p.m., highlighting efficient travel between the capitals.
Second-class tickets will be available starting at 60 ($67), slightly more expensive than the cheapest flights, thus offering a competitive alternative for travelers.
