After the high-speed low-cost trains with Ouigo, the SNCF is marketing "Classic Train" tickets this Wednesday.
The concept ?
Medium and long distance trains on the classic line which run more slowly but sold at very low prices.
Nantes, Lyon, Dijon accessible from Paris for... 5 euros.
It is now possible with Ouigo.
SNCF's low-cost TGV offer has sold discounted tickets to 14 destinations for its launch offer.
Rates that should remain low in the coming weeks.
The particularity of this new Ouigo offer is that they are classic trains because of their speed on the rails.

In all, two lines are opening in France: Paris-Nantes and Paris-Lyon.
And instead of taking just under 2 hours to reach Lyon from the capital, it will take you almost 5 hours.
Sales conditions similar to Ouigo high speed
How does the sale of Classic Train tickets work?
It opens 45 days before the day of departure, with tickets exchangeable under the same conditions as Ouigo high speed.
