As usual this Forum provides a bountiful amount of information however I have discovered one small problem for those of us trying to book train tickets very early. There was a post a month or so back saying that SNCF was now accepting bookings up to five months in advance. So I tried to book, but without any success.
Reason: The SNCF system does not accept payments from Non-EU bank supported credit cards.(Email from SNCF politely informed me why my bookings were not completing). Their recommendations (of us in Australia) was to use this web site: http://www.raileurope.com.au/?visitor_country=AU.
I have had a look here, however this site has a 90 day forward booking window. Hope this helps my fellow Aussie pilgrims. Cheers
B - yes double bummer - its the May Day long weekend (Monday May 1 is a national holiday in France & Spain) - I should have realised there would be a reason for the prices being so different on the Saturday. I might have to book now rather than wait till the 90 day window opens.Bummer! Looks like you're looking to travel over a holiday weekend, so the IDTGV discount prices are higher. More trains will open up exactly 3 months before your travel date so you could wait to see what's available.
