Fall Savings on European Railways
 Railpasses
in four popular European countries have become cheaper this
fall. The new 2-day France Railpass, running at $99 for
second class and $129 for first class, is really less of
a pass than it is a way to get a big discount on a round-trip
using France's high-speed TGV system. TGV trains go great
distances quickly, but they're extremely expensive; if you
just walk up to a ticket counter in Paris, you'll pay $174
for a second-class round-trip between Paris and Avignon.
The French railway site www.voyages-sncf.com offers
lower fares, but only on limited trains for inflexible tickets.
So $99 for any TGV round-trip -- or as many stops as you
can cram into two days -- sounds great to us. The two-day
pass must be purchased by December 5 for travel through
January 31.
