I never tried because every single time I looked for it, it was more expensive than the tickets. I'll take a look for the winter holidays, when the tickets are pricey, and see if they would be a better option.

Where did I say about train pics? 😂

Starting today, you can book SNCF tickets for January 9 to March 29. I will present to you a sample route, but I might come back with other examples since I'm interested in a few more destinations. Paris (Gare de Lyon) to Cannes The journey begins at 08:22 and after 5h06m arrives in Cannes at 13:28. The train has two more stops at no extra cost: Antibes (at 13:41) and Nice (at 14:06). €19 for an adult, €8 for a child. For us, two adults and a child, it costs €46, but I prefer to pay €3/adult extra to reserve the seats with a table on the upper deck. Kids' reservation is free, and on the lower deck is €7 for an adult.

Anytime!

PS: Trenitalia offers Paris to Milan too, and it's a little shorter (with about half an hour or so).

There will be better prices too. First-come, first-served. More exactly, those should be the best prices, right when they open the sales.

SNCF opens tomorrow the ticket sales for January 9 to March 29. But London to Verona is quite an interesting route.

If you have a route in mind, let me know.

There's a direct train from Paris to Milan (about 7 hours) and from there to Verona in less than 2 hours. But in Milan, you might need to change train stations. It should also be possible with an overnight stop in Germany, then Innsbruck and Verona. About three and a half between the last two. This is just from the top of my head, but if you really want to give it a try, I can look into it more responsibly. I can even make a post if you have some rough dates in mind.

Welcome to Trainstr! #introductions I will mainly address travelling to/from Austria, Italy and France. Secondarily, Germany, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. I am based in Austria, and my focus will be on long-distance travel, but I will offer all kinds of tips for local and regional trains, from ways to reduce prices to the most beautiful routes. As an example, every year the Menton Lemon Festival takes place in the South of France. Between the 14th of February and the 1st of March, "Fête du Citron" is a magnificent event, especially for families. I won't focus on train reviews, the YouTube is full of them, but on beautiful journeys that can be affordable, especially if you travel as a family, like I do. I will also post about promotional prices, when it's the case, and ticket sales openings. If you ever see a route and want it adapted for your needs, I should be able to help because sometimes I just look into train routes out of curiosity. That being said, I hope that my posts will inspire you to travel. #travel #trains

When you travel as a family, it's better to watch for prices. So if something is of interest to you, just let me know.
