Very cheap rail travel available

Now is the time to book that rail trip…

SNCF has put thousands of cheap Intercité rail tickets up for sale - with prices starting from as little as €10 even for last-minute bookings.

Until October 19, an estimated 130,000 tickets will be offered at discount prices, with prices for travel between Bordeaux and Toulouse set at €17, Paris to Clermont-Ferrand will cost €28.

Some offers, such as Prem's tickets, which are offered for sale three months before the date of departure will be cheaper, SNCF said.
