Well, the SNCF website is singularly unhelpful. Tim Send a noteboard - 20/04/2010 10:18:52 PM
Unless you have better luck than I do, it seems you need to know beforehand which of twelve rail services is the one you need before you can ask it to take you from A to B. Letting you start with A and B and having the website tell you which company you need to book with is obviously far too sensible for the French. You could try phoning though. Good luck.
