The SNCF and the Normandy region have just decided to reduce the number of trains each day on four lines towards Paris, arousing anger, while fuel prices are soaring.

Nineteen trains are no longer offered each day: nine on the Paris-Caen-Cherbourg, four on the Paris-Rouen-Le Havre, four on the Paris-Vernon-Rouen and two on the Paris-Trouville-Deauville.

"After the pandemic, we recorded a drop in attendance of 24% in 2021 and an additional 10% in 2022 compared to 2019"

Until Saturday April 9, 2022, 300,000 "minimum price" tickets for travel to Normandy and to Paris are on offer.

The calculation is simple: “Travel less than 100 kilometers: 5 euros one way, between 100 and 200 kilometers: 7 euros one way, greater than 200 kilometers: 9 euros one way”, lists the SNCF.

Prices valid for trips until July 1, 2022. This applies to direct trains in Normandy not subject to reservation, including trains between Caen and Rennes, and Citi trains between Rouen and Paris and Serquigny and Paris.

If you are between 12 and 25 years old, you can travel at 50% less in Normandy and to and from Paris, without conditions.
