hello!! i am going to visit france i April and i will go to Toulouse, Paris, Eurodisney, Marseilles, maybe Versailles and Beauvais Tille... So i am wondering if i should buy an Interail ticket or i could just pay the tickets for every train and other means of public transport? which will be cheaper for me? what about paris carte Visite? would it be better maybe? :|
Anyone who can help me please answer!!
Thank you in advance!

YOU do the math-as you can only book/reserve max 3 motnh before travel, just check on the voyages-sncf site what these trips would cost-they will vary with train and day of week. If date not yet in system-just check another date-same weekday. To have an IR pay off, you need to travel IN the allotted timeslots-you did not say anything about that, nor about age, which also determines fares.
Paruis Visite is for dumb tourists and only valid In Paris-there are cheaper alternatives, for RATP only-also by age.
Even with IR you still MUST reserve all long-distance trips and that will cost now at least 9 eur/trip, sometimes more.

Hi.
Like nltrainer wrote, just compare normal tickets (inexpensive advance fares) to Interrail.
If you know your exact travel dates, these point to point tickets might become cheaper, as for all high-speed TGV services in France, a reservation additional to Interrail is required.
Point to point tickets France: [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux]
Reservations for Interrail pass (select the option Global Pass) - these vary depending on the date and time you travel: [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf/reservation[/ux]
