Train Paris to Bayeux in Normandy

I am trying to get a price on roundtrip tickets from Paris to Bayeux in Normandy. Want an early morning train Paris to Bayeux and a late afternoon train back the same day from Bayeux to Paris.

I have tried logging onto the SCNF website, but it won%26#39;t give me schedules. I tried %26quot;Rail Europe%26quot; which is a travel service, but their prices were very high (23 GBP each direction or 46 GBP roundtrip).

At this point, I don%26#39;t need to make a reservation. I just need to know the cost. We are 2 adults and 5 students (each student under age 25).

Can anyone help me on the cost?

Thanks.

Hello! I am researching the same thing as you and maybe this also happened to you. My travel dates were too far away and so I did not get anything from SCNF website.

If you try for an earlier date than when you are traveling, then you might get an idea of the prices? just a thought. good luck.

If you go to www.voyages-sncf.com you can get schedules and costs. If you have problems, try a date in February.

the SNCF site gave a a return trip price of about 67 Euros (for 1 adult) not that different for the Rail Europe price. I think that prices vary depending on the days (weekends are more expensive) and that you can get good discounts if you book far in advance. The train leaves from St Lazare station by the way.

Dear All,

Thank you for your responses. I used the voyages-sncf.com site.

I went step-by-step through the instructions. I still need a little help.

1: Most of those on my trip are 20 years old. Do they need some special kind of card (other than their passport which shows their age) to get the under age 25 rate? Is there some kind of official %26quot;student%26quot; train card that you need?

2: I found a fare at approximately 20 euros for the %26quot;under age 25%26quot; for May 8. When I followed the steps to the end, it appeared that it was 20 euros round trip, although I am not certain. Could someone help me?

3: If I reserve from the U.S., how do I get my tickets?

Thank you and best wishes!
