SNCF -Need help with French translation

Trying to reserve train tickets to Frankfurt Airport and this keeps coming up:
"La date de l'aller souhaitee se situe hors du creneau de vente. Il est impossible de reserver un voyage plus de 3 mois a l'avance. Vous pouves avancer la date de votre voyage, ou commander plus tard."

Thanks to anyone in advance.

Hi tod - Here's roughly what I think it says:

The date you want isn't on sale yet, it's impossible to make a reservation more than three months in advance. You need to move the date of your voyage or check back later.

Thanks so much - I sort of thought that is what they were trying to tell me! The trip is for 23rd May so I guess I will wait another month.

tod, if you click on my name and find the thread entitled "prems" it may give you some tips on how to use the english site. There was a fair bit of discussion as the sncf have recently changed their site.
LunaBella is probably right about the time frame anyway but at least if you can make it work in English you will be able to read it!

You're welcome! Also you might want to check back right at that 90 day window for discounted fares; I'm not sure where you'll be travelling from (I assume France! but you may be able to get your ticket at a cheaper price (although in most cases these come with restrictions). A while back I got a few really good fares by shopping early for my trip next month, although there was nothing available at a discount for the tickets I bought to Frankfurt Flughafen (from Freiburg) - I had to pay full price for those. However, got a GREAT fare from Heidelberg to Paris by shopping early, so thought I should give you a heads up. Good luck!
