Need simple & to the point instructions/advice on buying PREM -TGV tickets for May.

RailEurope etc. We are in the USA....will be in France in May-June and have planned

check out //parisbytrain.com/tgv.tickets - I have followed this a couple of times and was successful to book and print following their advise. last year CDG to Strasbourg and back to Paris. just did it for cdg-avignon tickets for our may trip and got 22e per person prem tickets - that is a good deal!! right on the 90th day I think which is the earliest to book!

I tried the site I gave you and it has moved or something - once you get into Parisbytrain.com, look for TGV & Eurostar - TGV Tickets without fees"!!! that is what guides you.

We too have purchased PREM tickets, and love the savings! We printed them out from home and just took the printouts with us. We didn't need to do anything else at the train station.

I got PREMS Paris -Strasbourg - Paris for about a third of the full price.
Printed tickets at home and just boarded the train.

>>right on the 90th day<<

Three months - not 90 days. If you are traveling on Sept 10, for example, the earliest you can book is June 9 at 6:05PM EDT - 92 days France time.
