Traintickets in France (self.france)

submitted 2 years ago by kozel to c/france

Hi,
I'm going to travel through France at the end of July (cca. from Strasbourg to Perpignan) and I wonder if it's possible to get a lower price than what is calculated by sncf-connect.com.
Would going by lower-category trains pay of? (In such case, could you recommend me some points-in-middle, as the site wouldn't find a connection from Str. to Per. without TGV.)
Is it possible to buy regional tickets?

Thank you for any advice.

PS: Congratulations to your flourishing community!

The general rule is you don't need reservation on TER. It might be possible to have a reservation, but in many trains this is not even doable (seats are not numbered).

The crowd in trains depends mainly on the travel and time of the day: those trains are mainly used by people commuting to work, students, people going to see their familly... I would say that you will usually find a seat.
