"Venture to Paris's renowned wine country in Bordeaux directly from Paris. This Southern gem in France is a quarter-day ride from the City of Lights and features some of the world's finest vineyards, wineries and restaurants. Know that a first class or second class ticket doesn't necessarily guarantee you a seat on any train from Paris to Bordeaux. To do this, you must make a reservation in advance. Understand that standard seat and sleeper car arrangements can be made sixty to a hundred and twenty days before you travel on most train lines. Book tickets at a ticket counter which is located in Paris and Bordeaux stations. Book your tickets for train travel online from the US, you can have the tickets mailed to you or you can simply retrieve them at a station in Paris. Choose among several rail pass and ticketing options. Different France rail passes are available for passengers under the age of twenty six at discounted prices as well as for seniors and military personnel. Be sure to validate your ticket before you board at one of the orange machines. You can receive a hefty fine if you don't do this on every leg of your journey."
