The least expensive Eurail pass did not seem to help me because the pass would cost more than my total fares without the pass. 13:11 thd kados: otherwise a Eurail pass does not seem to function as a pass for substituted pass fare instead of standard fare. It seems to offer discounted fare after paying the premium which could only be worth the price if there were several trips within the period 13:05 thd kados: If you were going to be travelling a bit between other than just Paris to Marseille, Marseille to Genevre then a Eurail pass may help 12:58 thd thanks paul 12:58 paul read you on monday. 12:58 paul guys, I must leave now. 12:58 paul (mmm... some very low prices cant be achieved only from voyages-sncf.com & with a ticket you pay yourself) 12:58 thd paul: aeroplanes never have low prices one day before even if half empty 12:57 hdl soon can be three months time ;) 12:57 paul if the train is empty, the price may be very low 1 days before the trip ! 12:56 paul not necessary ! 12:56 thd kados: so reserve soon 12:56 paul (and depending on whether you reserve late or soon) 12:56 paul depending on your luck, you can get one for 20EUR ! 12:55 paul but it's the basic price. 12:55 paul (EUR75) 12:55 paul yep. 12:55 thd kados: I found that the lowest fare one way from Marseilles to Paris without prems was $88. 12:54 paul old cities ? sea ? hills ? 12:54 paul what kind of things do you want to see ? 12:54 paul you should try Lyon (very close to Geneva) 12:54 kados paul: thanks 12:53 kados paul: right, I will need to make sure to remember that 12:53 paul (for TGV) 12:53 kados paul: and I may want to explore a bit 12:53 paul but don't forget the reservation. 12:53 kados paul: because I have several days after geneva with nothing to do :-) 12:53 paul probably. 12:53 kados paul: but I think a pass would be easier 12:53 kados paul: so a very good price :-) 12:53 kados paul: no, paris => geneva => paris 12:53 paul then yes, very good price. 12:53 paul $90 means paris => marseille => paris ? 12:52 thd kados: $90 round trip between Marseilles and Paris is a very good price 12:52 paul it's between 3 and 15 euros 12:52 paul I confirm seat reservations ARE mandatory for TGV. 12:52 kados paul: thanks! 12:51 paul passholder fares. 12:51 paul A pass allows the boarding of a train, bus, plane, or boat, but does not guarantee a seat.
