Now that I’m retired, I split my time between Paris and my second home in Brittany, so I earn Voyageur rewards on those two destinations and combine them with benefits from my Avantage Senior card. I’ve reached the Grand Voyageur Plus level now, and I love being able to relax in the lounge before my train leaves. It reminds me of all the years I spent working in financial services—no regrets!
