I totally agree, the SNCF have never been much good with their websites!!

[@benzkrua6122]

I just wanna be sure with booking the trainline ticket Going to Colmar on Nov 26 from Paris. So I see the fastest train to get there is the TGV INOUI And whats the difference between Standard vs. Semi Flexible one outside of refund/exchange conditions?

[@valerieheath4560]

20 years ago i quit my jobs, bought a back pack, and 'hostelled' through 14 countries of western europe for 2 months. i rode the trains. what i didn't understand until the end of my travel, train stations (when you travel alone) become your friends. they are the first thing you see in a new country or town, (they are there to meet you as a friend would be) and the train same train station is the last thing you see as you leave the city or town (as a friend would wave to you goodbye and safe travels). besides that, train stations in europe are GLORIOUS. i feel so lucky to have that experience and your video brings it all back.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

What a great comparison ♡

[@EILEENZ0122]

love and hate Europe. I was fascinated by the stunning scenery and rich history, but I was overwhelmed by the high cost. I think EU rail's discount coupon saved me.

[@spurgendahl]

IMHO: The Frenchies is the best France-related infotainment you could ever expect. I enjoy every video. I would like to go to Paris. NOW!

[@q_branch_]

If you’re concerned about your luggage, like me, here’s a tip. I keep a flexible bike lock in my luggage that I can loop around one of my handles and then to one of the metal bars on the luggage rack. I can nod off on a long trip with peace of mind.

[@larisaserhijiw3670]

Unfortunately in 2016 whilst travelling by train from Bordeaux to Hendaya in Spain, my case was stolen from the luggage area, 10 days into a 5 week trip, never to be seen again. I now attach and lock my case to a handle or bar in the luggage compartment for peace of mind too. You think it only happens to others, until it happens to you.

[@counterfit5]

The new Railjet cars have locks built into the racks, and it looks like you can use a phone to set and unlock it

[@EILEENZ0122]

Lol u are so cleaver!!! Thx for your advice🎉 and with discount the price will be affordable as well😂

[@user-zzyachieve]

Thanks for sharing! It is helpful for tourists ~ By the way, I found that I can get a discount on tickets with code on trainpal ~

[@Ellinillard]

Beware, if a train employee sees that, you’re likely to be fined, as it is strictly forbidden.

[@sophiebrissaud927]

About not finding your destination on the big blue board: this puzzles French people also. The trick is to compare the train number on your ticket (paper or e-ticket) to the one on the board. It is always mentioned.

[@mamaahu]

BEST IDEA! I was so happy to have figured this out. (After getting on the wrong train to the same final destination and having to buy a new ticket on the spot😞)

[@MattDunny]

I wish I had known this. I found it very confusing that it seems to be only the final destination listed on the departure board and not any intermediate destinations. I was going to Avignon which is an intermediate destination and didn’t know that the final destination was Marseille very stressful

[@Ellinillard]

2 ways to find out : departure time and train number. All indicated on the boards.

[@aayaa3339]

I took 7 kids from Canada to Paris 2 weeks ago. The information provided by Les Frenchies helped us a lot. Especially the weekly 35 euros pass. It's mandatory to have pic on weekly pass. One tip i can add is to get ur hotel to photocopy ur passport. Cut the passport pic from the copy to stick to train pass. U have until midnight on the day of purchase to attach pic to ur pass.

[@EILEENZ0122]

That is very elaborate👍 Plus the EU rail now has a discount😮

[@caromurray6152]

I used Ouigo to travel from Paris to Toulouse last year. The price was very reasonable, I had a booked seat & there was plenty of room for luggage. There was no onboard catering but I was aware of that & bought snacks beforehand. It was clean & arrived 2 minutes early-couldn’t fault them.☺️

[@edwinreed9830]

Just arrived home after a six night visit to Paris. It was my sixth visit to Paris, and thanks to your videos, it was the first that I avoided mediocre french food, Dined at four of your recommended places and loved them all. They were Perraudin, Le Petit Vendome, Seulement Sea, and Viandes Salamanca. I adored the oeufs mayonnaise at both Perraudin and Seulement. Merci beaucoup. Have one idea for future video called "Bottom shelf at Carrefour." We found delightful red wines for under six euros to drink with our cheese and baguette in our wonderful Hotel des Grand Hommes, across from the Pantheon. Drank Bordeaux, Merlot, and a delightful Cote du Rhone. Perhaps a budget traveler wine tasting is in order. Keep making your great videos. Merci, William and Michelle from Austin Texas.

This video is full of mistakes. It is not 5 minutes maximum before the train leaves that you have to arrive, it is 2 minutes. There is the WIFI in first AND second class is TGVs. But there is no WIFI in the TERs. SNCF Connect is a very easy to use, it is available in english.

[@EILEENZ0122]

Yessss! Tourists can also buy it for saving🥺 and I also know a cheaper channel😎

[@solracer66]

One other nice thing is that SNCF has discounted rates for those 65 and older. The discount is not huge but it’s enough to buy a 1st class ticket for not much more than a non-discounted 2nd class ticket.

[@user-zzyachieve]

I can't agree more! It is helpful for tourists ~ By the way, I found that I can get a discount on tickets with code on trainpal ~

[@lighthousetaichi]

Travelling with suitcases can be a challenge and your bag is unlikely to be visible to you during travel. We use Samsung tags linked to our phone so we know if our bag is moved and where it is. It's definitely worth it for peace of mind and not super expensive. Some European train lines are beginning to charge for suitcases, many have size and weight limits, so always check when you buy your ticket 😊

[@regisbarou4922]

By far the best videos you can expect. Useful for foreigners of course but also so much practical for french people.

[@britainluver431]

On my first trip to Paris in 2009 I took the sleeper train from Paris to Rome, and it was quite a nice journey.

[@michelestapleton]

This is excellent! I wish I'd seen this before we went to Paris and took the train to and from Provence. We booked our tickets early enough, but we didn't give ourselves enough time to figure out how to find the train at the station. We didn't realize how big the station would be/how many trains would be there and how hard it would be to find our particular train. We got on with just seconds to spare!

We hit Paris after our 8 day Rhine river cruise and only stayed 4 nights, but made the best of it and didn't overwhelm ourselves with trying to see everything. Easter Sunday in Paris is something my wife and I will always remember. We stayed in St. Germain and were able to walk to most areas but did get the Navigo Easy card and used it to ride the metro to Montmartre and ride the busses when we got lazy.

[@jeancsintalan2491]

Dear English or every English-speaking travelers from a old Frenchmen 😊 At Gare de Lyon, towards the south-east of France, check the track number on the platform where the train is parked. it frequently happens that 2 trains are parked on the same platform (for example track 17 on the left towards Montpellier and track 19 on the right towards Marseille). Also check as soon as you get into the carriage the destination of your train as well as its number. For this summer, and with the Olympic Games, it will be complicated for you to find places at competitive prices. In addition, traffic towards the South East (sun and sea !) is the busiest of the year (hopefully, finally, that there is no strike). Merci Google traduction .

Even before Brexit, the UK was never in Schengen, so you always had to go through passport control before getting on a Eurostar service. Brexit does seem to have made the process slower though (at least in my experience) so it's not a good idea to cut it close.

[@phillipsmom6252]

[@drychaf]

You make very helpful videos. I'd underline even more your point about where the stations are on TGV routes. Like in London, I would have expected the Parisian stations to be in different parts of the city, but I was more surprised about ones such as Nimes and Montpellier, where TGV stations are far outside the city centres. Of course, TGV is a recent thing, and they had to by-pass built-up areas when they were built. Once you've travelled TGV a few times, it can become second nature to look for connections to/from these outlying stations. At first, however, it would be very easy to miss a train departure by not paying attention to this fact.

[@leenieledejo6849]

Good, informative video 👍 The only thing I would add (and I think it's important) is train etiquette. For any train (even the RER although on certain RER lines it's impossible to expect these days) it's seen as good manners to keep a *LOW VOLUME* and that includes talking. One British journalist recently described his TGV atmosphere as being "like a library". Well, as someone from the UK, I can say that it seems that behaving in public used to be taught to children but obviously not anymore 🤦🏻‍♀️ I LOVE the respect and restraint shown by 99% of French train travellers. Even on a 1 hour train to Orléans, you could hear a pin drop and the only couple talking were almost whispering! It's all part of the French culture of being "discret" (which doesn't really mean "discreet" as we understand it; more like "understated and polite"). Of course, some noise can't be avoided (especially if you have a baby) but a big effort is expected to be made by all. And if you are in France for any length of time, it becomes second nature to you after a while. I have never enjoyed train, long-distance coach and plane (if it's mostly French people) travel so much in my life as I do in France. You arrive feeling calm and peaceful and it adds a lot to the experience.

Note that free Wifi is also included in 2nd class TGVs (not Ouigo though !) Also, it's important to use plane mode if you don't need your data. Most of your phone's battery is getting drained in trains because they keep trying to connect to a new antenna, which happens a lot when going at 300km/h (every 30 seconds on average !)

[@solracer66]

My third hint is that it’s not unusual for trains to be arranged like two trains end to end with a pair of locomotives in the middle. In that case one section will have wagon numbers starting at 1 and the other at 11. It’s also possible that if one train is late arriving or there is a down line split planned that two trains may be joined with identical wagon numbers. This happened to us and we ended up needing to run from one end of the joined train to the other with just a few minutes to spare!

[@pierreostiguy2219]

Chers Colleen et Antoine, bonjour, Je crois qu'il serait utile pour vos spectateurs que vous insistiez sur le fait que les trains partent à l'heure, à la seconde près et que, dans les gares d’origine de grandes lignes, l’accès au quai est totalement interdit 5 minutes avant le départ. Ainsi, j'attendais récemment l'ouverture des portillons pour monter à bord de mon TGV vers le Languedoc-Roussillon et la Catalogne. Sur la voie suivante, un train allait partir, mais l'heure exacte du départ n'avait pas encore sonné, celui-ci n’était donc pas en mouvement. Qu'à cela ne tienne, les voyageurs arrivés moins de 5 minutes avant le départ ont été refoulés par les agents de la SNCF. Par ailleurs, à mon avis, arriver moins de 10, voire même moins de 15 minutes avant le départ est une erreur, surtout si l'on est handicapé, que l'on marche lentement ou que les valises sont nombreuses ou lourdes. En effet, certains trains sont scindés en 2 à un certain point du trajet de sorte que si la destination finale se situe au delà de ce point, la voiture est loin devant. C'est le cas, par exemple, des TGV Paris gare de Lyon - Barcelone qui sont scindés en gare de Montpellier St-Roch. Les voyageurs se rendant au delà de Montpellier doivent donc prendre place dans les premières voitures, or les train sont très, vraiment très longs. Il faut souvent plusieurs minutes pour arriver à sa voiture. Il faut aussi porter grande attention au numéro de la voiture affiché sur un écran près de la porte avant de monter. Compter les voitures ne suffit pas. En effet, j’ai constaté qu’il arrive parfois que l'ordre des voitures ne suive pas l'ordre numérique et cela crée de la confusion. Je vous suggère de parler du comportement à bord. Par exemple, lors de mon dernier voyage, six cinquantenaires - des Americains - voyageant ensemble sont montés à Montpellier. Jusque là, l’atmosphère était tranquille, feutrée. Ils se sont mis à discuter bruyamment et ont, en quelque sorte, envahi tout l’espace au détriment du confort des autres passagers. Enfin, un mot sur les animaux familiers. On voit de plus en plus d’animaux de compagnie dans les avions et les trains. A la SNCF, tout animal de compagnie reste sous la responsabilité de son maître, couché à ses pieds ou dans un sac de transport. Aucun animal ne peut se promener librement et le maître doit avoir en sa possession les documents nécessaires à l’identification de son animal et sur son état de santé. Plus encore, exception faite des animaux d’assistance, les animaux domestiques quels qu’ils soient, sont admis sous réserve de l'accord des autres voyageurs dans la voiture. A bon entendeur... All the best, P

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

It is possible. And, it's a very long day. Consider just under 2.5 hours each way of actual train travel, plus 45 minutes to an hour lining up and passport controls on either side. That's almost 8 hours of travel without seeing much in London. That being said, if you take an early morning train there and a late night train back, you can see sleep on the trains and see a singer wonderful sites and have some meals in London. If you're not up for that much of a day, maybe checkout the medieval fortress style cake at Pierrefonds just north of Paris or something like that. www.Chateau-Pierrefonds.fr

Great videos. Just wondering. When a train stops at a station how much time you’ve got to get on or off the train?

[@leenieledejo6849]

Always enough time and usually they announce a few minutes (5 minutes sometimes or more) before arrival that "in a few minutes, we will be arriving at...".

Curious to know where train tickets need to be validated? I know Italy has yellow validating machines on the platforms. Thanks!

It's the same in France. You'll see a little stand by the platform.
