Hi, i have a reservation from Paris to
Amsterdam and want to pick up the tickets a few days from our departure (no online printing or ticketless). I understand i can pick up the tickets a SNCF location in Paris. Not sure where are the locations, we will be in District 7 and travel in 1, 3, 5,6. Any close ones. How do i find them?
thanks

Hi Phil,
We picked up train tickets at a SNCF Boutique office in the Marais on rue St. Antoine at rue de Turenne--it's closed on Sundays.
Rick's book also notes that there's an SNCF office near Gare de Lyon at 5 rue de Lyon (also closed on Sunday.) He lists one in the Rue Cler neighborhood at 78 rue Dominique. His maps of Paris neighborhoods indicate the location of several--the rue Cler location may be closest for you and is referenced (#22) on the map for "Rue Cler Hotels."

This site shows the SNCF boutiques in Paris; sometimes it's just as easy to stop at any train station SNCF desk. (Either before or on the day of departure).

Yeah, boutique, shmootique. Just find a railway station, found on any map of Paris or metro map, for that matter.

Phil,
I normally use either an SNCF Boutique if there's one in the general vicinity of the area I'm staying. My experience with railway stations is that not all of them offer "full service" ticket facitlities, which means travelling to one of the larger stations. On the other hand, there was an SNCF Boutique about a 10-minute walk from the Hotel, so it was an easy choice for me.
Happy travels!
