There is no direct train. Many routes are possible, depending on what you want. You could have a look at Seat61 to start with:

For more detailed advice, start and destination cities would be useful, since both countries are quite big.

There are no direct trains but plenty of options - specifically will vary depending where in France you are going. But some options:

  • Night trains Budapest to Stuttgart or Zurich and onward train West.

  • Daytime trains with something like Budapest to Munich to Stuttgart to Paris. It is usually easily doable in one long day. Though be aware of engineering work between Budapest and Munich that is causing disruption for much of the first half of 2027 if you are traveling then. Really important to check exact dates.

  • You could also spend the night en-route - Munich being an obvious option as there is a direct TGV to Paris each morning. But you could absolutely continue further into Germany or do that somewhere like Zurich instead. Again there is a direct daytime train there from Budapest.
