Booking trains on France's rail system

Posted by Stew (Blenheim, Ont, Canada) on 01/15/09 03:34 PM

I am having trouble getting the English version of the French rail system.
www.voyages-sncf.com/

At one time if you clicked on trains and put UK in the browser instead of the FR you got the English version of their web site.
Is anyone else having this trouble?

thanks

Go to www.tgv-europe.com and pick the UK as your country of residence and also as the country in which you will retrieve your tickets. Don't worry. You will be able to print PREM'S tickets, if available, or pick up regular tickets at any SNCF station in France.

I second Tim's comment. If you go to tgv-europe.com, just don't choose the US or France. I was dumb and booked my tickets late (with only 30 days to go, so I didn't get the PREM rate), but I took my e-mail confirmation to the train station in Nice, and the lady at the window printed my tickets. You need the confirmation e-mail and the credit card you used to book the tickets to pick them up.
