For return fares
With your Carte Avantage Adulte, certain stations in the same geographical area can be offered to you. So you don't always have to leave from the station you arrived at. For example, you can make an outward journey from Paris to Lyon Part Dieu and a return journey from Lyon Perrache to Roissy CDG 2 TGV airport.
1/ Amortisation applied from the third journey (single journey from an initial destination to a final destination), on the basis of reductions applied to holders of an Carte Avantage (Jeune, Adulte or Senior) and to potential accompanying persons (in proportion to accompanied journeys), in first and second class, on all TGV INOUI and INTERCITÉS destinations combined (excluding TER), between 01/01/2022 and 31/05/2022.
The Carte Avantage Adulte 27-59 entitles the holder to a 30% discount.
The Carte Avantage Adulte entitles the holder and one accompanying adult aged over 12 to a 30% discount:
- on one-way journeys every day if the holder is travelling with a toddler (under 4) or a child (aged 4 to 11 inclusive);
- on one-way journeys on Saturdays or Sundays;
- on return journeys including at least the night of Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
The maximum period between outward and return journeys is 61 days and cannot be extended in the event of an exchange.
Offer reserved for Carte Avantage holders, and one accompanying adult aged over 12 for Carte Avantage Adulte 27-59 holders. Discount calculated, excluding additional paid services, on the full second and first fare for trains with compulsory reservation (TGV INOUI and INTERCITÉS, excluding OUIGO) and for INTERCITÉS trains without compulsory reservation. Discounts applicable throughout France. The conditions of application on TER are the responsibility of the organising authorities and are available on the TER websites.
In the case of a return purchase with TER, symmetrical outward and return journeys from the same departure and arrival stations may be required in certain regions in order to benefit from the Carte Avantage Adulte discount. Example: TGV INOUI + TER on the outward journey (TER departing from station A / arriving at station B) then TER + TGV INOUI on the return journey (TER departing from station B / arriving at station A).
If the benefit of the Avantage fare is conditional on travelling with a child or toddler, the latter must be present and in possession of a valid ticket (accompanying child ticket or toddler fare) when checked on board the train. An accompanying adult who has benefited from a reduction associated with the Carte Avantage fare must travel with the holder of the corresponding Carte Avantage.
The capped prices on TGV INOUI and INTERCITÉS journeys (in France, second class, daytime and or night-time seating), available with the Carte Avantage, were guaranteed until 31/08/2024. However, these prices remain in force for the time being. Calculated on the basis of the average time taken on an uninterrupted journey, these prices are as follows:
