Out-of-City Train Travel:
https://en.oui.sncf/en/
This is the national train agency, and the cheapest internet site for train tickets. A few things to consider as
you book:
• Tickets increase substantially as the date of travel gets closer. Try to book at least a month in advance.
• You can choose between 1st and 2nd class, and your preferred seat location (window, middle, aisle or no preference)...each option affects the price
• Even your age affects the price! If you are under 26, tickets may be cheaper. Watch for that option.
