Voyages-sncf.com is revolutionising the travel experience yet again - with innovations including video content and carbon offsetting...

Check out your destination as if you were already there, with the new video service on voyages-sncf.com. You can access the 3,000 videos straight from the home page. They are grouped into 5 categories: cities, hotels, restaurants, leisure and socially-responsible tourism. Spend 46 seconds at St Patrick's Cathedral in the heart of Manhattan, take a minute to check out Hotel Nikko in Bali, get a taste of the ultra-chic Kube restaurant in Paris, feel the spray on your face as you visit the fountain display at the Chateau de Versailles...

Magical experiences!You don't need to surf the web to check out your hotel in one place and the tourist attractions in another. Everything is here at voyages-sncf.com so you can prepare your holiday of a lifetime, with links between the different channels and a high-quality video player. It's user-friendly and completely free of charge!

You can check out the carbon footprint you generate on your trip, and then decide if you want to offset it. Voyages-sncf.com will tell you the CO2 emissions generated by your train journey (and will compare it with the CO2 released if you had made the same journey by car, for good measure). What about carbon offsetting? If you want, you can visit a dedicated mini-site and make a donation to environmental projects such as solar cookers in Bolivia or a biogas plant in India. Voyages-sncf.com even offers you the chance to choose which project you want to support and to track the usage of your donation. Socially-responsible tourism is right here, right now with the SNCF.
