The increasing popularity of low fare airlines have made railway authorities sit up and take action. In the jet-setting age, where time is money, it’s hard to find people opting for rail travel. If not for the price factor, most tracks would have been redundant by now. However, French railway authorities are on their way to make rail travel interesting and enticing by offering on board personalized services. If you are traveling in France on the new IDTGV trains, you might as well have a blast while you travel. Whether you are traveling alone or with your gang of friends and family, these new trains have something to offer for every passenger.
Want to watch a movie to kill time? No problems, you can order your favorite movie on the on-board DVD rentals. Forgot to bring a magazine? You can buy the magazines of your choice too. How about renting games console and enjoy some action? That’s not all; they even plan to have talent competitions on board and events like wine tasting, beauty treatments, and cabarets. The barista is at your service offering a gourmet menu to satisfy your taste buds.
The whole idea is to attract young travelers who don’t mind traveling all night as long as they ‘passer un bon moment’ (have fun) and the tickets are of course relatively cheaper than other trains. But if you are someone who doesn’t enjoy loud music and the chatter of fellow travelers, you can check in at the iDZen zone where mobile phones are switched off and no noisy equipment around to ensure your sleep time is peaceful.
It’s party time on the train folks!

Yes...i agree with you. You are lucky to enjoy such travel. by the way have you ever had a traghetto trip, really that would be an excellent travel. I always travel by ferries during my stay in Europe as the ferry operators offers now-a-days world class facilities. Amazing travel i experienced....just can`t forget the moments of my latest ferry trip of my 2 hrs travel in Dec.08 at France!
Thanks for your ideas and openion. I generally prefer to travel by ferries during my stay at France as i feel more comfortable to travel by boats than any other mode :)
Yes...he is right...should have tried once and then...
Indeed, ferry channel crossings is really interesting. Norfolkline operators have introduced new vessels where the traveller can enjoy world calss facilities including children and all aged people.
Everybody might have different tastes, but actually i enjoy with ferry travel comparatively any travel. Especially Norfolkline ferries!
Yes.....indeed..i too like ferry travel only out of all travels...its quite delightful while sailing, especially by Norfolkline vessels!
