With a few months before summer holidays, SNCF announced on Monday a new high-speed train line connecting Paris and Perpignan.
It is now possible to travel peacefully along the Mediterranean coast with this new Paris-Perpignan line. In addition to the existing services to cities like Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Quimper, or Nice, you can now also stay in the capital of the Pyrénées-Orientales.
In five hours, you can reach southwestern France or the capital using OUIGO fares starting at €19 one-way, and €8 for all children under 12. Half a million tickets will be available at this price in 2023.
The new line will stop at the following stations: Valence TGV, Nîmes Pont du Gard, Montpellier South of France. The towns of Sète, Agde, Béziers, and Narbonne will also be served along the route. What a delight for travelers at Easter, who will be able to explore the country freely with their loved ones!
OUIGO, TGV INOUI, TGV International: how to find your way around?
SNCF offers two high-speed travel options within France: INOUI and OUIGO. However, you may have noticed the price difference between the two, especially in the short term.
OUIGO is similar to low-cost airlines. You can take certain train lines operated by SNCF at a lower price than a traditional TGV. This is achieved by charging you for all extra costs, such as seats or baggage. Additionally, OUIGO trains do not offer catering onboard.
SNCF also partners internationally to transport travelers via the existing rail network. Trains to Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, and England are offered by SNCF. These partnerships promote more sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility.
This new OUIGO route between Paris and Perpignan helps expand offerings in the region. It provides an alternative to traditional TER and Intercités services. An increase in high-speed transport options, such as the New Montpellier-Perpignan Line scheduled for 2034, will enable residents to travel further for leisure or business. With this low-cost service and summer tickets already on sale, you can travel far and worry-free during your next holidays!
