Trains and Train Ticket Details
---------------
We whole heartedly recommend train travel while in
France; it's scenic, relaxing and comfortable. Keep in
mind, that for train travel in France, you will need a
reservation besides a ticket. This information is not
known generally, so you cannot always buy a ticket and
hop on the train because train service is the way
Europeans travel, and they stay busy. Travel lightly,
because you will be carrying your own bags, porters are
not readily available to help you.
We offer you the best selections and most popular Train
[Rail] Travel options for France and the French speaking
countries. Train travel is wonderful in France and
Europe in general. The trains are comfortable, fast and
on time, and we mean on time!
The train and rail pass section is quite comprehensive
for train travel to and in France, Belgium, Switzerland
as well as all of Europe. We offer Student and Senior
Rail Passes at special prices, so take a few minutes to
browse the rail pass section. Travel lightly, because
you will be carrying your own bags, porters are not
readily available to help you.
Trains are on schedule in France [unless they are on
strike!]. French people are very nice and willing to
help you in anyway that they can. So take the train,
enjoy the views and just relax, if you would like more
