"First come, first served": if you are between 18 and 27 years old you will have to log in Monday at 10 am on passefranceallemagne.fr. The initiative, financed by the German government, the French East, Deutsche Bahn and SNCF, was decided at the Franco-German Council of Ministers last January.

Half of the 60,000 passes are for young French citizens and residents and the other half for young Germans. They will allow "travel from July 1 to December 31 for a Frenchman in Germany and a German in France"
