HELP: How do I book a TGV train in France from Ireland?

Chivito550

I want to book a simple 10 minute train from Disneyland Paris to Charles de Gaulle. On the voyages-scnf main website when I select "other countries (EUR), nothing comes up when I enter these destinations. However when I select "UK", the train times do come up. However as I can't provide a UK address I can't complete the transaction, even to simply collect my tickets at the station. This is immensely frustrating! All I want to do is simply book my tickets, and have the ticket emailed to me, or if not, to collect it at the station, or mailed to me. Who would have thought that buying a train ticket from a fellow EU country would prove to be such torture!

All help appreciated.

Go to www.seat61.com and it will tell you all you need to know! It is the bible for all international rail travel.

And it's very user friendly.

Thanks. I managed to book tickets through loco2.com

I have to pick up the tickets in the station. I assume I can pick these up at any station, at any time, and that it doesn't have to be Disneyland station on the day I take the train? I'd rather pick up the tickets when I get to Paris first to save time at the end.

It takes as long to buy the tickets as to pick them up. There were practically no queues when we went and got our tickets right away.
Not sure bout picking up tickets at a different desk, I assume as long as it supports TGV sales they should be able to help you or at least tell you when/where to collect. You could also pop into the station at Disneyland, it's all very close together so you wouldn't be missing out much on your way into the parks.

Last time I picked tickets up was via a ticket machine.
Just be sure to bring the same credit card you used for payment.
You can select 'english' for the machines and select the 'pick up tickets' option.

I usually use http://www.voyages-sncf.com/ - French equivalent of Irish Rail. Just to be aware that it shows all train types, not just TGV.
