Traveling in France or from France throughout Europe

The train


The train is the fastest,most convenient way to travel. You can order yout ticket on the SNCF website. The task is simple, but unfortunately, the site is availabe only in french. If you are under 26 years of age, you will find tickets at very good rates. The earlier you book in advance, the better the price will be.

If you are in France and want to travel around Europe by train, you can get a Europass. Choose the country of your destination and go to the corresponding site. However, be cautious about buying a ticket during the holiday periods (July, August, September), especially in France trains will be overcrowded and there may be problems in finding a seat for at the last second.. So be careful.

The bus

the company Eurolines offers to travel you by bus across Europe to a low cost. But attention, comfort is really very bad and trip very long. But it is really cheap. ..

Renting a car


This is a very good idea to go visit a region where there is no train or bus. In France you can use the large companies like Avis, Europcar, Budget, Rentacar, NationalCiter and Ada

You may find a car service in a station or an airport. The drawback is the cost of petrol which is 1.50 per litre. But nevertheless it is often cheaper than the train.

The aircraft


It is often very expensive, except for destinations to large cities. For example, to go to London from Paris it would be preferable to take the Eurostar, because it is faster.But as for the train, the more you order your trip in advance the better the price will be. You can also find low-cost airlines like Ryanair and Easyjet fora very good price that includes the whole of Europe.

Renting a boat on the Canal du Midi (Toulouse)

It is a canal that connects the region of Toulouse to the Mediterranean. For over 35 years companies hired boats and you could rent barges for the week. One did not need permit for the boat. Today, you can still go down or up the channel and discover at every step, the sights and smells of the region. This is a very good idea if you are this at least 4 persons in spring, summer or September.

Vineyards

If you wish, you can go visit the vineyards. There are many in France, as you know, so I will select two particularly well known vineyards : Bordeaux and Champagne

Bordeaux

To get take the TGV from Paris to Bordeaux (about 3h30). Rent a car, take a map and have an itinerary. Visit the "Médoc," This region over Bordeaux is famous for its wines such as "Margaux", "Pauillac" and "Saint Estèphe" and is found along the river from "Gironde" to "Soulac" and Wednesday
On this site (which was only in french) you can find properties that welcome you to let you discover their wines.
