TGV or plane to go from Montpellier to Paris? Car Rental?

We are going to be in Montpellier for the soccer tournament on April.





After the tournament we would like to go to Paris for a week. What should we take? The bus, the train, the plane?

For all practical purposes, there are no long-distance buses in France: the trains have killed them off.





The train costs €77 to €132 and takes around 3h30. Why would you go any other way?





Get timetable and costs at www.voyages-sncf.com

As stated above, rail travel is really the best choice. I shall add however that you will obtain the best pricing and seat availability if you reserve 90 days before your desired travel date on the website mentioned.





I have seen fares as low as 24€ from Montpellier to Paris.

Be sure to choose France as your country to pick up the tickets on the sncf.com site... if you pick Canada you%26#39;ll be rerouted to the more expensive Rail Europe site. The difference in price can sometimes be substantial.





You can either print out your own tickets or pick them up at the Montpellier station using the same credit card as you bought them with online.
