    I would treat it as an indication.
    There should be a link to sncf or somewhere you can actually book the tickets.

    indeed, its a guideline

    SNCF are the french rail company, and shockingly coincidentally the best place to go to to get prices on SNCF train tickets.

    There are very cheap advance booking train tickets available, but when they are gone they are gone, and french long distance trains also have a quirk that once every seat has been sold, then that train is full and you cannot get on it. So if you need a particular train at a particular time you should book it now before it is dearer/ sold out.

    it has those trains as it is a partner in "Thalys" which is the train which runs to Belgium and onto Cologne
    Theres also a dedicated Thalys website, and belgium rail, but they all have the same price as its all the same (i.e. Thalys = Belgium rail + SNCF)

    nice trains actually and way more comfy than the standard TGV

    I don't travel by train a lot, but my cousin (who lives in Brussels) does & he swears by this site.
