<< Maybe I'm missing something. Here's what I found about the rail pass: Seems the Czech Republic is included??? >>

Did you look at the criteria for the Select Pass? If you choose the Czech Rep then you only have a choice of Germany or Austria. You have to look at all the criteria.

Here's what I entered:
1st Country--France
2nd--Benelux
3rd-not going there, but told to enter Germany since I will pass through there and make a stop on the way to Prague
4th--Czech Rep

The site looks very different now than it did yesterday. I tried several times yesterday to add the Czech Rep to the mix and couldn't. There was no way with the Select Pass that I could combine France, Benelux, Germany, and Czech Rep and I tried several different ways. Very weird.

Computers can be weird!!

So would this work-- start in London, see it, chunnel to Paris, see a day, start my pass now and train to Caen and Bayeux, train back to Paris and on to Belgium. Bus to Bastogne, train to Prague
Busy yes, but I really think we can do it. Just finished 6 full days at Disney, being there at park opening every morning and staying most of the day.

Paris to Brussels...covered on the pass, right?

Paris to Brussels is covered on the pass. Are you going to compare prices with point-to-point tickets to see if the pass will save you money?

koryandleslie Oct 27th, 2010 03:31 PM

I'll will compare. Thanks for the help!

Paris to Brussels on thalys - will have to pay extra - and only a limited number of seat on each train for pass holders.

Koryanleslie - having just been in Bayeux and taken the Battlebus tours, I don't know how you're going to do your Day 6. In the first place, there's no train that goes to Mt. St. Michel itself, so you have to go to Pontorson, and the first train in the morning from Bayeux to Pontorson leaves at 7:30 and gets into Pontorson at 9:15. Then you have to see Mt. St. Michel, get back to Pontorson, catch a train to Paris (there are no direct trains, so you'll have to transfer), then change stations in Paris to get the Eurostar to London. As far as I can tell, the last Eurostar for London leaves Paris at 9:13. You'd have a busy day!
