Notice to the 200,000 travelers who saw their train canceled this Christmas weekend due to the SNCF controllers' strike: the company has just opened its online compensation request service this Thursday.
As a reminder, all passengers who had a TGV Inoui, Intercités or Ouigo canceled between December 23 and 26 can benefit from a free exchange or a full refund.
Added to this is compensation, in vouchers, equivalent to twice that of the canceled trip.
Please note that this compensation can only be requested online, and not at the station, in the shop or by telephone.

In concrete terms, to benefit from this 200% compensation, SNCF directs TGV Inoui and Intercités passengers to the tout-oui.sncf.com website.
There, the Internet user comes across a chatbot (or conversational robot), to which he must respond and clarify his situation.
You must therefore click on "
train deleted
", the date of your canceled train (between 23/12/2022 and 26/12/2022), and confirm that your train has been deleted following the social movement of controllers and that the original ticket has been exchanged or cancelled.
Following this, the chatbot returns to the compensation form, with precise instructions for completing it, which depends on its situation.
