The new Ouigo Classic Train offer, connecting Paris, Nantes, and Lyon, will start on April 11 with fares from €10 to €30, excluding promotions.
In terms of clothing, fast fashion is losing ground to slow fashion, leading to fewer annual collections. In the train world, the very fast TGV contends with traditional trains, such as TER or Corail, small lines, or even night trains. Slow motion trains? Therefore, this audience will be interested in the new Ouigo offer, which is also very affordable.
A launch at €5, then €10 to €30
On March 2, the Ouigo subsidiary of the SNCF Group kicks off sales of its “Classic Train” tickets. The offer is particularly attractive: €5 for everyone until Thursday, March 3 at 11:59 pm. And theoretically, 300,000 tickets are available.
Afterwards, prices will return to normal. Adult fares will range from €10 to €30 depending on schedules and days, with a maximum of €30. Children under 12 will have a special fixed price of €5.
Finally, tickets must be booked online only, on the official website or mobile apps.
Ouigo Classic Train serves Paris, Nantes, and Lyon
Initially, the service only covers two lines. Ouigo Classic Train operates Paris-Lyon or Lyon-Paris, with two round trips daily. These journeys of about 5 hours will serve 5 intermediate stations: Villeneuve Saint-Georges, Melun, Dijon Ville, Chalon-sur-Saône, and Mâcon Ville.
The other line is Paris-Nantes and Nantes-Paris, with two different routes. Departing from Paris Austerlitz, the OuiGo passes through Luvisy, then Massy, Versailles, Chartres, and Le Mans, or Les Aubrais, Blois, Saint Pierre des Corps, and Saumur. Both routes will pass through Angers Saint Laud to connect to Nantes, with a travel time between 3h30 and 4h15.
A second bag is free in 2022
Ouigo Classic Trains will be based on the old SNCF Corail coaches. In their new pink and blue colors, they will retain their snack service, offering several options.
An extra bag will be charged €5, but is free in 2022, and transporting a bike costs €5 (if folded or disassembled in a cover) or €10 (if not disassembled). Unlike the Ouigo high-speed TGVs, tickets are only available 45 days before departure, compared to 9 months.
