Is there a map/list of all regional trains departing from Paris?

score:2

Accepted answer

I figured Wikipedia has nice tables of all lines (regional, national, international) serving each of the major Paris stations. It does not render as nice as a map but they are all there:

I found this map of the Ile-de-France region on this site, so I assume it is a 2005 map rather than the most current one. But as rail lines are not changing that fast, it might give you a start on finding a railway destination.

On another site you can find a map of France (and more) on which you can zoom in to see the area you want to concentrate on. I find it less clear than the older map. This last page also has the option to get trains listed by the departure station, which might be useful if you want to check out one region near Paris.

Here is a time to distance map than can be useful. According to its author, it was generated using SNCF sources.

Otherwise, a plain standard official map may be useful too.

Vianavigo is a journey planner for public transportation in Paris and Ile de France. It includes regional trains and even local buses. Enter the departure and arrival points : it will provide you with routes and schedules. On the STIF network, which gather public transportations in the Ile de France, prices do not change even if you buy your ticket 30 seconds before getting on board !

Using this network, you can go to different towns :

  • Fontainebleau : there is a castle there and the small town is surrounded by a forest. Lots of horses a few miles from the castle.
  • Chantilly : there is a castle there and the small town is surrounded by a forest. Lots of horses near the castle.
  • Versailles : there is a well-known castle there and a large park with fountains.
  • Saint Germain en Laye : there is a castle there and a forest behind it.
  • Rambouillet : guess what ?

If you wish to go further, the national train network is the SNCF. You can plan your trip and buy your tickets at http://www.voyages-sncf.com/ . Specifying the right station in Paris is not required : the interface will find it for you. Prices are time-dependent : if you plan your trip months in advance, you can get cheap tickets called "prem's". In France, there is a really efficient network of high speed trains. Hence, within 2 hours, you can go to Lille, Bruxelles (in Belgium) or Luxembourg (in Luxembourg).

Do not be worried if the regional train is operated by the SNCF : it is usual on most lines.

Welcome to France !
