The SNCF have recently launched a new budget TGV train service called OuiGo, offering tickets to the south of France from as little as €10.

Using the same high speed train network, SNCF have launched an online only ticketing service for the OuiGo destinations which include Avignon, Nimes, Aix en Provence and Marseille. Setting off from the Gare de Marne-la-Vallée which links to London via the Eurostar service.

The launch of the service see's 40,000 tickets going on sale for just €10 and then fares will be priced based on demand - from €25 to €85.
The new OuiGo TGV carriages will have limited on-board services and will have more seats than a regular TGV, so expect slightly less leg-room.

Avignon, Nimes, Aix en Provence and Marseille are already being served by regular TGV links but adding this low-cost service will make the destinations far more accessible for all.
