This summer in France, there are two types of travellers. The first type is avid sports fans who are heading to represent their country and cheer on their teams in the stadiums across Paris and throughout France. The second type consists of fans of a different sort – those who prefer a bit of peace and quiet and would rather watch the matches on their cell phone from the comfort of a spacious, first-class seat on a high-speed train departing from Paris, headed away from the madness. Whether you belong to the former or latter category, the ticket to the best summer yet is finally available for purchase. However, these tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so secure yours today!

Child and youth passengers

The definition of "Child" and "Youth" varies by country and operator. This is why we ask for the age of young passengers.

Sometimes children below a certain age can travel without a seat for free. If you want to guarantee a seat for child passengers, enter '6' as the age of the child.
