SNCF Connect Guide

SNCF is the national rail operator in France and not so long ago it recently simplified both the range of tickets and the term and conditions of using them.
Therefore the cheapest tickets also become more flexible too.

Other improvements included a simple integration of travelling with bicycles and rail pass users being able to book reservations for national journeys, without paying booking fees.

And it also recently launched SNCF Connect as replacement for its Oui.SNCF booking service.
You can set up a low price alert to let you know when the cheapest price is available for a future journey.

Something else to look out for is that simplest way of travelling with tickets is to use the SNCF Connect App, as booked tickets can therefore be stored on your mobile device, which can then be shown to the train conductors as proof of purchase.

SNCF also operates RailEurope, which is in effect a dedicated online booking service for making bookings from outside of Europe.
If you reside outside of Europe you may discover that SNCF Connect rejects phone numbers or card numbers, but RailEurope won't do so.
Though RailEurope will add booking fees when making a purchase

Good to Know

Note that these trains depart from the Gare Du Nord.

Until recently there used to be two different types of train service on the Paris to Amiens route, the slower trains were the TER trains and the faster trains were Intercités services.
But now these faster trains are also TER services too.

So take care when looking up these services online and when boarding at the Gare Du Nord; because it's worth targeting those faster trains.
Other TER services can be more than 25 mins slower, but they won't be any cheaper.
