Interrail France Pass review

The Interrail France Pass has the lowest entry price of the passes we could check in US dollars. RailPass.com lists 1 travel day in 1 month at $102 in 2nd class for an adult, and the table runs up to 8 days at $342. Youth and senior passes cost less, and up to 2 children aged 4 to 11 travel free with each adult. It covers participating train, ferry and public transport companies in France but cannot be used to cross the border. It scores lower on experience because Interrail says most high-speed and night trains need a reservation at extra cost, and in France most long-distance trips are on high-speed trains. A short pass suits a visitor who wants one or two long rides, such as Paris to Nice, with the fare fixed in advance. Check reservation fees before you buy.
