France Day Pass

What could possibly get you to leave Paris behind?

Well, it is only for a day. With the France Day Pass from Rail Europe, you can take a day trip to your choice of some of the French countryside’s most welcoming villages. Whether you select to travel on a scenic two-hour trek to Lyon to sample its traditional gourmet food among locals, or perhaps prefer a shorter 90-minute hop to the champagne city of Reims.

You can even opt to travel to Nantes, the home of Jules Verne and some say the birthplace of science fiction. And you’ll always be dropped off in the middle of town, which will give you the chance to enjoy what you wanted to see instead of spending your day finding it. You see, Rail Europe doesn’t just make it easy to see everything in Paris, but everything from Paris. With full day itineraries that take the work out of vacations. It is a vacation after all.
