France and Eurail Select Pass

This item appears on page 4 of the May 2014 issue.

The French national railway company SNCF (phone +33 8 92 35 35 35) as of April 1 once again is participating in the 4-Country Eurail Select Pass. In January 2013 the country withdrew from the pass (Dec. ’12, pg. 68). A 4-Country Eurail Select pass is valid for two months and costs from 407 (near $560) for five travel days to 592 ($814) for 10 travel days. 

Also, Eurail has eliminated its 3- and 5-country passes.
