Key Points to Remember
Direct journeys between France and other countries are still available. However, for trips with connections, some international routes may be temporarily unavailable.
If no complete journey is displayed:
- Book the first section (France → border, e.g., Paris → Barcelona) on SNCF Connect.
- Book the onward journey (e.g., Barcelona → Madrid) on the partner carrier’s website.
For DB (Germany) and SBB (Switzerland) networks, you can complete these bookings in two steps directly on SNCF Connect.
