Le Petomane Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 If I'm over 60 (which indeed I am) can I get cheap dealo-s on French rail? Is there some special pass/card I need? Where do I get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjlaws Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 You don't need a Carte Senior if you don't travel by train very often. The card gives you up to 50% off a the fare, but you're entitled to up to 25% off just because you are 60 or over. You only have to make sure that you enter your age in the appropriate place when you book - on line here or in the machine at the station.The saving on one return to Paris from Languedoc will pay for a year's Carte Senior. I used to have one when I travelled down to the south a lot. Now I don't have one because I get half price deals on-line from SNCF even without the card.

Jc Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 You can tell the booking clerk your age and get a discount;in fact,the clerk last year asked our age,didn't want to see proof and gave us the discount.Interestingly,for the journey one way ,we got a shared ticket and back,two separate tickets.
