Train in France 

Travel by train in France is easy and offers multiple options. You can travel at high speed with a TGV, or more local with a TER or intercities. You can also take an overnight train at low cost. SNCF has different kinds of tickets depending on the flexibility and comfort you need. For example, Prem’s tickets are non-refundable or exchangeable. While second class are more expensive but will be exchangeable and refundable up to a few days before departure. SNCF tickets go on sale usually 3 months in advance and prices tend to increase when the departure date approaches. 5 millions passengers travel daily by train in France. The French train network has more than 3,000 stations. 15,000 passenger and freight trains run on the French rail network every day.
