What is the train fare?
 
Hi <BR> <BR>Anyone has any idea how much is the one way train fare on 2nd class from Paris to Chatel Censoir (France)? <BR> <BR>Thanks <BR> <BR>Serena

162 francs, one way <BR>Full adult, second class fare.

Good answer, Bob. <BR> <BR>Better answer: teach a man to fish - - www.sncf.fr

That's your opinion; sorry I don't share it.

Rex Mar 19th, 2000 11:28 AM

The word choice "better" was wrong. <BR> <BR>Together, both answers provide more information. Neither alone is superior. <BR> <BR>Sorry.

Bob <BR> <BR>Thank you very much for the infor.You have been very helpful. Kindly ignore Rex's rudeness. <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>For your information I had visited the website (english version)numerous times even before your suggestion.I had never been able to see a fare listed, which is the reason why I have posted this query for help from some kind soul. <BR>Would be most glad if you could kindly indicate which section has the fare listed. <BR> <BR>Serena

I beg your pardon. I was not rude. <BR> <BR>But let's go through this one step at a time. <BR> <BR>You say you know to click on the Union Jack from the main page at www.sncf.fr <BR> <BR>Under "Planning you journey", it says "France and abroad" - - click there. <BR> <BR>Next screen, click on "Booking and fares" <BR> <BR>On the next screen you can leave it France. Click on the blue triangle for Validate. <BR> <BR>Next screen, fill in Paris and Chatel Censoir in the appropriate boxes, indicate a preferred time of departure and select number of passengers (you must have at least one over 17). Click on choose time table. <BR> <BR>Next screen. You will see choices of departure times and connections. The better connections are through Auxerre. Click on "Choice 1" or 2 or 3, etc. <BR> <BR>Next screen. There is a pull-doen box that offers 1st class seat or 2nd class seat. Bob's answer is based on selecting 2nd class seat (per your request). Click on the blue triangle for validate. <BR> <BR>Next screen. There is a pull-down for full fare or other discounts, if they apply to you. Click on the blue triangle for validate. <BR> <BR>Here is your answer. Stop. <BR> <BR>And that's as politely, and SERENEly as I know how to put it. <BR> <BR>And I still say better to teach a man to fish. <BR> <BR>My very best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex
