• Offer is only open to full-time residents of the United Kingdom, Ireland, or, curiously, Norway.
• Prices are per person, in 2nd class.
• 1st class tickets may be available for 139€ return, 89€ single — 1st class travellers benefit from reduced check-in times and on-board meal service, in addition to more comfortable accommodation.
• These discount fares are only available to participants in our regularly cycle trips spanning at least 4 nights.
• We try to respect your requests regarding specific trains or narrow time bands, but we only guaranteee availability of the special discount prices if you are willing to travel at any time on the date of travel requested, and are additionally able to provide an alternate travel date in each direction. This may mean spending a night in Paris (or elsewhere enroute to or from your trip) during your journey. Before we book your tickets, we will offer both the closest departures to your ideal travel times available at the discount price, and the lowest cost tickets we can offer at the precise times you specify. You may then tell us which one you prefer.
• If you do not have the flexibility required for our guaranteed special discount fare, you may give us narrower acceptable bands, and make your trip registration conditional upon the availability of your desired tickets. However, you must submit the registration (including payment of deposit or of the trip cost, as appropriate) and train request simultaneously. If your train request can be honored, the sign-up becomes effective. If it cannot, the registration is not effective, and all payments are refunded. You are encouraged to give us as much latitude as possible in such cases, to avoid disappointment.
• Discount fares are only guaranteed to guests requesting their trains at the time that the cycle trip is booked. Subsequent requests will be honored on a space-available basis, but are not guaranteed.
• Tickets are not refundable nor exchangeable. If the trains initially selected cannot be used, alternate travel must be booked, at the best available market prices.
• Connecting trains to and from your trip must be ordered separately. Obviously, if you book them through us (see our Access Packages), we will ensure that connecting services are booked. We are not, however, responsible for missed connections due to late trains or any other cause.
• This offer may be discontinued at any time, without notice.

To request tickets, please specify the following:
- Preferred travel date, time, and class of service (1st or 2nd).
- Acceptable alternates, in order of preference. In the absence of your ideal train in your preferred class of service, please consider whether you would accept...

• ...the other class of service?
• ...an alternate travel time?

Would the ideal alternate travel time be earlier, or later? Or, if both are acceptable, which would you prefer? At what point would you prefer to shift to the other class?

• Is there an alternate date that would be acceptable? If so, at what time on that alternate date?

The more acceptable alternatives you give to us, the more likely we are to be able to satisfy your request.


About Blue Marble

Blue Marble Travel is an international cycle tour outfitter, staging trips across continental Europe for an English-speaking audience. Those of us who create and coordinate the trips hold a great variety of passports, one British, others from former colonies of one sort or another (US, Australia, Canada). Then there are a few continentals sprinkled in (French, Spanish and Italian, at the moment), and even a South American.... Past riders have come from pretty much around the world.

The hub of our network of trips is in Paris. So we have to base our company there. That is the only reason we do, obviously. Apart from the food. And the wine. Well, actually, the city is attractive, if you look closely....

We offer our price list in euros for European riders.

Our € prices differ from our $US or $C prices in one important respect.
They are lower. But don't get excited: this reflects a difference in the service provided. Cycle hire is not included in the €uro prices, while it is included in the dollar prices. (Since it is less complex for British Isles riders to bring their own cycles — “Eurostar” will transport them, for instance — many choose to do so.) Of course, this does not mean that you cannot hire a cycle from us, you may. It simply means that the price of cycle hire is shown in a separate column on our € price chart.

Please note: the chart is formatted horizontally on the page, but appears vertically on the screen, in order to be printable on normal letter paper. To view it on the screen, select the “Rotate View Clockwise” icon (a little square page with an arrow pointing to a little gray, square page behind it) while you're in “Adobe Acrobat.”

Happy Travels!
