Intercity bus and train booking, curated for travelers visiting France.
SNCF Connect is the direct first choice for French rail. It sells TGV INOUI, INTERCITÉS, OUIGO and many TER journeys, keeps eligible e-tickets in the app and shows live platform and disruption information. Save the ticket offline and check the departure station because major cities can have several terminals. Fare conditions differ. OUIGO tickets are generally more restrictive and its baggage rules are stricter, while TER conditions vary by region. Read the exact exchange, refund, luggage, bicycle and pet terms before paying, and add any required reservation while space remains. For a journey involving another operator or separately booked connection, confirm who is responsible for each segment and leave recovery time. Booking direct usually gives the clearest after-sales path when disruption occurs. BlaBlaCar is a useful optional supplement for carpooling and comparing some coach or rail offers, especially where the rail route is indirect. A carpool is dependent on an individual driver and is not a protected train connection. Review the driver's profile and trip history, confirm the precise meeting and drop-off points, agree luggage space and keep communication and payment on the platform. Drivers often post close to departure and can cancel, so keep a backup for any flight, last train or other critical connection. When buying a bus or rail ticket through a marketplace, identify the actual operator and read that operator's conditions.
