Facilities for canceling your ticket.
Since this Friday, all train tickets up to and including April 18 are exchangeable or refundable without cause and without charge, up to an hour and a half before departure, for the whole of France.

For Ouigo and Inoui, just go to the website to change dates or cancel.
No credit is offered: either you change the dates, or the refund is made directly to the credit card.

First, because the SNCF's transport plans have not been established for the next few weeks.
Then because the terms of exchange and cancellation are not known beyond April 18.
