What's the best SNCF card?

The best train pass for you depends on your age and how much you travel. If you travel frequently for business reasons, we think the SNCF's Carte Liberté is a wise choice, as it avoids the sometimes exorbitant costs of last-minute bookings. If you're travelling with your family for personal reasons, you may be better off with the Avantage Card, which is more affordable.

What's the difference between the Advantage card and the Max Actif card?

The Advantage Adult card, available for 49 euros a month, offers a 30% discount on all train tickets. The Max Actif card costs between 300 and 600 euros per month. The price is much higher, but Max Actif allows holders to travel free of charge from Monday to Thursday, with the exception of busy periods such as Monday mornings, the eve of major holidays, and long week-ends.

Does the Avantage card work on TER, Ouigo and INOUI trains?

The SNCF Avantage Adultee card applies to INOUI TGVs, but not to Ouigo trains. It doesn't work on all TER trains. Regional transport authorities are responsible for setting TER fares. In the Île-de-France and Région Sud, the Advantage Adult card does not apply. The Bourgogne-Franche Comté region, on the other hand, only accepts the Advantage card for people aged 60 and over.
