Christina, it's strange, isn't it? That's what happened to me earlier this week; I knew those trains existed because I saw them last week but they didn't appear when I was looking the other day, just much earlier and much later trains.

It seems you just never know what the sncf site is going to do, do you?

I'm looking for 12 tickets Paris to Brive on May 23 and 10 tickets from Avignon to Paris on June 6. Needing that many complicates things even more. I asked for a group quote from RE ... $65pp for the first leg (17-29€ on sncf) and $95pp for the second (35-64€ on sncf) + $5pp service fee + $18 shipping. How's that for a group "discount"?

For that kind of difference I'll take my chances on voyages-sncf!

Betty - I hope you are charging (?your friends or family whom you're buying tickets for) a HEFTY commission!

Hooray! Bought my 12 tickets to Brive - Prem's at 17€ each. Hope I can do as well for the 10 Avignon to Paris. Sometimes the SNCF site does work!

And no, yk, no commission - I even pay for my own ticket.

Betty, that's great!
I just booked my Avignon-Paris return portion of the trip for 22 E each so hopefully you'll be successful as well. I booked after 6:00 PM on February 20, i.e. the 21st in France, for my ticket for May 21.

Thank God for folks like yk who take time to help on these for some reason nearly impossible for novice users transactions - saving folks tons of money.

And I just got my PREMS for my Dad and me, for 75.60E

Yay!

Question - I did get the confirmation email, I printed it out.. however it is telling me to pick up the tickets at the train station. I am not sure if I did something wrong, I expected to be able to print them directly from the internet.

Any advice, especially since I will be doing this again for my trip with Mom?

Great thread Louisa...
