it happened A word from Emmanuel Macron. The Rail Pass, which gives 16-27-year-olds unlimited travel on select trains for €49 a month, sold 100,000 copies by mid-July, SNCF confirmed to Le Parisien. BFMTV.
In forecasts presented at the beginning of June, SNCF expected sales of 700,000 for the whole summer, a number that looks unlikely to be achieved. Valid for one rolling month, this pass is only available in July and August. It can be used to buy one trip per day departing from the same city (including in the case of a connection) and in the same time slot. Another limitation: only six reservations are possible. TER and Intercités – including at night – are included in this offer, but not TGV and OUIGO.
Domestic travel within Île-de-France is excluded
Given the complexity of system integration, Rail Pass is available in all regions of the country, except for journeys within Ile-de-France. If you change stations in Paris, you will therefore have to pay for a metro, bus or RER ticket. However, it is possible to use a rail pass from Ile-de-France to another region or from another region to Ile-de-France.
You must go to get the subscription On the SNCF website and follow the steps shown. However, once purchased, you will need to manually book the desired trains to get the tickets – at no extra cost.
