Hello saziye.
I suppose your are from Turkey? Right?
Then you will have to buy and Interrail pass, NOT an Eurail pass. Read here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-rules[/u]

Do you only want to travel in France or also in bordering countries?
If you only want to travel in France, it will be cheaper to buy early point to point tickets instead of Interrail.
Bus and underground is not included in Interrail - Interrail is not an all inclusive transport ticket, it is a ticket of the national railway companies of Europe.

:!: [b]Please read the STEP BY STEP guide[/b] which will explain you everything about Interrail: [u]https://rail.cc/en/first-time-interrail[/u]
:)

All information is also available in Turkish language - just switch the language.
Peter :)

IF you fly into Basel NOTE-this is a real INTernational airport with2 exits: into FR and ALSO into Swiss. You must choose the right one!
IF you want to travel a real lot by train-then there is also Interrail 1 country-only for FR, for 3/4/5 etc days in 1 month. NOTE that many people say IR for FR is a bad buy-as the hi-speed TGV trains have quota for IR-users-which means you will often be told they have no seats for you-in that fareclass. Then you must pay 18 eur extra for any reservation. So IF you can preplan-try to prebook-then you are tied into the trains you booked, these tickets are called PREM

Hi.
Eurail is only available for NON-European residents (see link above): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-rules[/u]
TGV is the standard train in France for long-distance connections.
Have a look here, you should be able to get e-tickets or if not, to order online and pick them up at a ticket machine: [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux] (try to stay on this site and not to get forwarded to other versions)

Hi.
If you travel to Brugge, Brussels, Gent (all thre in Belgium), Paris (France) and Barcelona, Madrid (Spain), you can NOT travel with an Interrail ONE COUNTRY Pass for France as you are traveling in three countries.

Maybe have a look at the [b]5 travel days in 10 Interrail pass[/b] here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-global-pass[/u]

In [b]Belgium[/b] you can travel without extra reservation fees.

[b]Paris - Brussels[/b] is possible as well without extra fees: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/paris-to-brussels[/u]

[b]Paris - Barcelona[/b]: use a French night train - [u]https://rail.cc/blog/little-yellow-train-video/[/u]

[b]Barcelona - Madrid[/b]: with reservation fee EUR 10 - [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/barcelona-to-madrid[/u]
