Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

A Warning If Booking French Trains
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Just done a dummy booking via this site, saying country of residence was France

http://www.voyages-sncf.com/

The price quoted was 296 euro = a conservative £230

Went to same site and said my country of residence was UK, this becomes the site

http://uk.voyages-sncf.com/en/

Same journey, same times, price quoted £265

Tickets are electronic so makes no difference. Might not be same every occasion but double check.

thefatcontroller, interesting. Try www.loco2.com and see if that helps.

Also, select a. French postcode and France as country. Your credit card should be accepted and you should get the French price.

They probably set the exchange rate once a year.

Gave another price mid way between the 2 prices I had. Advice would be to check more than one resource.

Difference likely to be commissions, same as if I book train here on the First Great Western website they are cheaper than on National Rail website.

Always use the French SNCF website and pay in euros. Their price can't be beaten by anyone else.

2 of us overnight couchette out of Paris. In the end because you have to wait so long for the French to release their train prices, we booked flights. The flights were such a good price that we decided not to wait. For us the overall cost of flying and train is very similar, so no allegiance to either.
