User friendly site for SNCF

Written by Camille Chevalier-Karfis Thursday, 28 January 2010 00:00

In a newsletter a couple of weeks ago, I was giving you tips about the train system in France, and commented that the SNCF website was awful to navigate. A subscriber (thank you Ken) sent me this note that I now share with you:

"There is a website "seat61.com" by a guy that is trying to encourage people to travel by train. He has a section on how to use the SNCF website for English speakers at http://www.seat61.com/France-trains.htm#How%20to%20use%20voyages-sncf.com I haven't actually used the instructions to buy a ticket on the system, but it looks pretty comprehensive. I thought you might want to know about it for your readers."

I checked it out and it looks great!
