WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., October 25, 2018 – Rail Europe, one of the largest distributors of European train tickets, passes and tours in North America, has teamed up with Atout France, the France Tourism Development Agency, with a joint YouTube advertising campaign launching today that touts the benefits of traveling in France by train. A promotional offer, through the ads, encourages young adults and families in North America to explore more of France with a Eurail Pass. Running simultaneously with the campaign through Nov. 12, 2018, is a special offer of $30 off any Eurail France Pass booked with Rail Europe using promo code “FRANCE.”
“Traveling by rail in France is the ideal way to see the most of this beautiful country,” says Zine Belhonchet, CEO and President of Rail Europe North America Inc. “Rail Europe makes it easy enjoy unlimited travel with its family-friendly Eurail France Pass, ideal for travelers looking for travel date flexibility when taking multiple rail journeys in the country.”
The Eurail France Pass offers options of one to eight days of unlimited travel, consecutive or within one month, in the country. Children up to age 11 travel for free, and youth travelers ages 12 to 27 receive discounts as well. Rail Europe sells more than just tickets and passes, helping travelers add to their stay with such sightseeing extras as the Paris Museum Pass, which includes entrance fees at 60 museums and historic places in and around Paris. Even better, the Paris Museum Pass provides priority admission, which means no waiting in line and therefore giving travelers additional free time to see more of “The City of Lights.”
One of the many routes available on the Eurail France Pass, and an ideal match, is Paris to Nice and the Côte d’Azur destinations, says Anne-Laure Tuncer, Director of Atout France in the United States. “Anyone who wants to pair the wonders of Parisian heritage with the light of the Mediterranean in the Côte d’Azur can do so in about 6 hours with the convenient TGV INOUI” adds Tuncer. “In fact, many more routes are available on the Eurail France Pass, providing you with a wide array of regions in France to discover in just a few hours.”
