Overview
- Tickets are now available for travel from March 30 to July 3, 2026 across TGV Inoui, OUIGO, Intercités and TER.
- By late morning on opening day, SNCF Connect logged roughly double the usual visits and ticket sales about 20% higher than last year’s launch.
- Demand is focusing on Easter and the May holidays—May 1 and 8, Ascension and Pentecost—with popular Friday and Sunday trains expected to sell out quickly.
- To handle weekend peaks, a new OUIGO Train Classique link between Paris and Bordeaux will run two round trips from Friday to Sunday, taking about 5h30 via Les Aubrais, Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, Futuroscope, Poitiers and Angoulême.
- Cheapest fare tiers are released first and booking roughly eleven weeks ahead is advised, with sales available on SNCF Connect as well as Trainline and Kombo, while some Trenitalia routes are not shown on SNCF Connect.
