Our sister site LinkParis.com is an authorized France Rail agency and is available to assist with booking.

Sometimes rail tickets are cheaper when purchased on site in France, however you are taking a risk as the price is often higher and certain trains tend to sell out.

Rail passes are available for purchase before your trip to France.  Please note that rail passes can be a bit confusing to use and often require supplements for desired routes. The bottom line is that you can still save money purchasing a France Rail Pass, but you should price out your desired routes before traveling.

As a rule all high-speed (TGV, Eurostar, etc.) and overnight trains require a supplement as well seat reservations.

Something really great about reading the news with a cup of coffee in Paris.  Somehow, whatever the news, it’s just a bit more pleasant. – JR
