While the SNCF opens its ticket office this Wednesday, October 4, for the end-of-year holidays, the company takes the opportunity to announce a new Ouigo high-speed connection.
The operator’s low-cost offer is thus enriched with a line between Paris-Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport and Toulon, passing through Marne-La-Vallée Chessy, Lyon Saint-Exupéry, Aix-en-Provence TGV and Toulon.
The first services on this route will begin on December 10 with a daily return trip.
The operator also indicates this Wednesday that the Paris Gare de Lyon – Bourg Saint Maurice line “returns for a new winter season with a daily round trip, from December 14, 2023 to March 24, 2024.”
Unlike the TGV Inoui, the opening of the Ouigo ticket offices covers movements until July 5, 2024. Enough to access as soon as possible at reduced prices for spring holidays, for example.
New lines for slow Ouigo
Remember that the SNCF should also reinforce the offer of its classic Ouigo trains, these connections with low fixed prices but on board slow and totally pink trains.
In fact, the SNCF will operate two new routes from December 2024: Paris-Bordeaux and Paris-Rennes.
For the first, the SNCF plans one or two round trips per day from the Austerlitz or Bercy stations with several stops, including Juvisy and Futuroscope in Poitiers. The duration of the trip will be between 4h55 and 5h39, compared to just over 2 hours for the TGV.
For the second, the operator also has one or two round trips per day from the Austerlitz or Bercy stations with stops in Versailles or even in Chartres and Laval. The duration of the trip will be between 3h50 and 4h20, compared to 1h30 and 2h by TGV.
