Hello- I have never traveled outside of Paris in France- and was wondering how the train tickets between towns work (or if anyone can direct me to a good reference). I know the long distance trains (Paris to Strasbourg) require a ticket for a specific train (date/time).
How do the shorter / regional trains work between towns such as Strasbourg and Colmar? Are they like the regional trains in Germany and Belgium where you buy a ticket and it is good for that route on any train that day? Also, any advantage in booking early, or is there a set price? Finally, any sort of pass (3 days, a week, etc) that would make sense? In Germany we did the D-Ticket which was a great deal
Thanks in advance
