Launched in April 2013, this low-cost SNCF service from Marseilles allows passengers to reach central Paris, Lyons or Lille for just a few euros. Prices remain low even as you approach your travel date, but it's best to start early so you don't miss out on the best prices. The service is serious, the trains are new and clean. It will be ideal to go to Disneyland as well since there is a direct line to Marne-la-Vallée. Please be sure to arrive 30 minutes before your departure, having printed your tickets. The baggage allowance is subject to certain restrictions, which can be consulted on the website. But for the price, who can complain?

The Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF) is the French public railway company. Born in 1937 from the merger of several companies (Nord, Est, Midi, etc.), it contributes a lot to the development of rail transport with the inauguration of the TGV in 1981. The SNCF operates the national network via several types of trains: TER between localities, InterCités and TGV between the main cities, RER and suburban trains in the Paris region. Several international high-speed lines: Eurostar, Lyria, Thalys, Thello, etc.

Departing from Gare de Lyon in Paris three times a day (very early in the morning, around midday and in the early afternoon), the SNCF TGV will take you to Porta Susa station in Turin, in about five and a half hours of direct travel, without any change. Prices can be particularly competitive if you plan at least two months in advance, and don't mind getting up at the crack of dawn (but tickets at all prices are available at the last minute and bookable up to four months in advance).

Enjoy unlimited rail and Nomad bus travel throughout the region. Passes have the advantage of being offered at attractive rates. Designed for two people with no age limit, this pass also adapts to your tribe: children under 12 travel free (up to three), and you can add passengers for just €5 extra per person. It's the perfect way to discover Normandy without breaking the bank!
