Do you have any questions?
Do you have a question about the Carte Liberté card? You will probably find the answer below:
100% flexible ticket⁴ This means they can be exchanged or refunded free of charge up to 30 minutes after the train's departure. This is an advantage over TGV INOUI semi-flexible tickets, which are exchangeable and refundable at no cost only up to 7 days before departure. From 6 days before departure until the train's departure, you will have to pay a £19 exchange fee per ticket and the fare difference. Please note: for INTERCITÉS journeys without compulsory reservations, the Liberté fare is flexible and valid for one day on one journey, on the day of travel designated on the ticket and on the same route. There is no guarantee of a seat if you take another train on the day of travel.
Ticket prices normally depend on the occupancy rate of the train and the reservation date. Last minute train tickets are usually more expensive. But not with the Carte Liberté card! Carte Liberté fares do not change, which means that a Paris - Rennes trip will remain at the same price whether you book 20 minutes before the train's departure or 2 months in advance.
Your Carte Liberté card applies to selected trips in Europe! To Luxembourg and Italy with TGV INOUI under the same conditions as in France: o 60% off on 2nd Flexible class based on the Business Première fare; o 45% off on Business Première class based on the Business Première fare. To Germany with TGV INOUI and DB SNCF in cooperation under the same conditions as in France: o 60% off on 2nd Flexible class based on the Business Première fare; o 45% off on Business Première class based on the Business Première fare. To Switzerland with TGV Lyria under the following conditions: o 40% off on BUSINESS 1ERE class compared to the full BUSINESS 1ERE fare o 45% off on STANDARD 1ERE class compared to the full BUSINESS 1ERE fare on Saturdays and to Lausanne only (on trains with no BUSINESS 1ERE) o 60% off the full STANDARD 1ERE class fare. - Cardholders get the greatest flexibility possible with free exchange and refund up to 2 hours after the train's departure - The Carte Liberté card also entitles cardholders to the following benefits for a family getaway with a 50% discount for a child on the price paid by the adult cardholder in STANDARD and STANDARD 1st class. This includes up to 3 children per accompanying person. *The reduced fare on Lausanne <> Paris Please note: The Carte Liberté card also applies from these countries to France (under the conditions mentioned above). If you are a European resident outside France, the Carte Liberté card is sent by post.
