We plan to go to Provence by train from CDG Airport. Do we need a Eurorail pass or buy as we need?

There are plenty of French ppl who use the train without buying the Eurorail pass. Believe me, try to see more of a city/town and less time on the train. Riding a train is tiring and gets old very quickly. Only a few wide-eyed tourists are excited by train trips and they get tired of it too. Also, pack light. Many train stations there have no elevators/esclators and generally, there are no porters available (at any price).We plan to go to Provence by train from CDG Airport.

you dont need an europass for 2 reasons:

- you can use eurorail pass for free only with Corail trains, so you need to pay an extra fee when you use TGV trains (abt 5 or 10 鈧?I think) : from CDG or Paris to any Provence places, you'll have to use TGV.

- if you only want to go to provence and come back, it's not so expensive as you need a pass.

if you want to know how much does it cost, go and see www.voyages-sncf.com
Items like the Eurail Pass make economic sense only if you intend make muiltiple trips in the time alloted for their use. Since you're apparently making only a single trip it would make no sense to buy a pass.We plan to go to Provence by train from CDG Airport. Do we need a Eurorail pass or buy as we need?
You don't need a Eurorail pass, but it may save you money if you plan to do additional train travel.

Otherwise you can purchase the tickets online at www.voyages-sncf.com or at the train station at CDG.
If the TGV (high speed) you will need to book a reservation on line
