Dear travellers,
It's already spring.
Let's ignore the winter temperatures that envelop France and our peaks to prepare for what the 2023 calendar offers us: spring holidays starting on April 8 in zone A, then many long weekends in May.
In this year of label waltz, it is better to anticipate: the SNCF has just opened its spring sales with prices inflated by an average of 5% and the prices of plane tickets (all inclusive since the price of luggage is also soaring. ..) climb up to the sky.
Only certainty: the latter will be blue, invariably blue with our selection.
