SNCF ticket
 

Planning a train trip from Paris to Cannes in mid-August. Would like to know if train ticket prices increase as one gets closer to departure.
I would like to reserve right before departure but not if it costs a lot more.
Thanks for your help,
GEsssa

Hello

Fast trains (TGV) will be more expensive towards date of the trip. Also check on timing : some trains are less expensive than others (like leaving at 10 am instead of 8 am).
Regional trains : no impact of the date.

Don't know where you are from, but most US users reserve on capitainetrain.com, seems the site is more user friednly than SNCF.com

You can easily find out the difference on your own.
Goto www.voyages-sncf.com and compare:

1. cost of tickets for a next day trip.
2. cost of tickets for a mid-August trip.

Yes, use www.capitainetrain.com in preference to voyages-encryption.com. Same everything, but easier to use and no Machiavellian redirects to Rail Europe to have to overcome.

Paris to Cannes starts at €25 and rises to around €130 on the day.

Book an upstairs seat on these TGV Duplex double Decker 186mph trains for the best views.

Sorry, interesting effect of auto correct there!

iDTGV goes from Paris to Cannes. Maybe cheaper, maybe long time.

I can't check without dates and at the moment; can't get the site[iDTGV.com] to search.

I was able to book with my Chase Visa card AFTER I called to notify them of upcoming, online, foreign transaction. A few weeks later, I couldn't book on SNCF, even though I did all the same steps. I used CapitaineTrain finally.

"longer" not long, travel time.
