You are spoilt for choice if you want to buy your train ticket in town.

Imagine you need to make a train journey soon, and need a ticket,
but the nearest station is a long way from home and you are reluctant to make purchases on the Internet. What can you do?

You can pop into one of the 175 SNCF shops, located in 100 towns throughout France, or go to one of the 2,800 SNCF partner travel agencies, where customer advisers will help you get what you need. Some French banks, supermarkets, university campuses and other public places also have Self Service Kiosks and ticket machines. Find all these locations and their opening times listed at the bottom of the web page www.voyages-sncf.com (new window). This site also features the addresses of Rail Europe offices, where you can buy your SNCF tickets abroad. Handy, isn't it?
