Travelling in France by train? |
Travel Info I have looked at booking a train ticket online for travel in France and I noticed it is cheaper if you are under 25. Do you need to buy special railcard for young people to get this discount like in the UK or can I just show my passport to prove my age? Travel Tips Hello, I'm French : you just have to prove your age with your passport. So,what you can do, is book online... the system will calculate a 25% rebate. If you had a 12-25 card (French card, of course) you could just travel on more trains... and, maybe on some, get a 50% rebate... but, you'd have to buy your ticket long in advance. Have a look at this link : http://www.voyages-sncf.com/guide/voyage... There's another way to get 50% off... buy your ticket between 60-30 days in advance (Prem's)... and there you don't have to prove your age or anything, but if you don't use the ticket... it's lost. http://www.voyages-sncf.com/dynamic/_svt... Have a good trip in France. Source(s): me, I travel a lot Other Travel Tips Tell us more about this discount - what's the name - give us a link. Some of them need a special card like "carte jeune" , it's usually written on the ticket "carte 脿 pr茅senter" : card to be shown. But some other discounts do not need a card, it's usually written on the ticket "justificatif 脿 pr茅senter" : justify your discount (with an ID) ;; You do need a special railcard. It will cost you 49 euros, it is valid for a year and you will get 50% off, which is quite good since train is expensive in France. As a bonus, you can use the card in hotels like: novotel, mercure, suitehotel and get discount. My experience |
