When you are travelling to France, you want to get the most out of the whole trip and get to as many places as you can. There are many means of public transport France has to offer. Make sure that you familiarize yourself with these different ways in order for you to experience French travel avoid the hassles of not knowing how to get from one place to another.

One of the best modes of public transport in France is the modern rail transport system. France has one of the most sophisticated and efficient railway networks in the world. The French railway system reaches up to 31,840 kilometres and is considered as one of the most wide-ranging and far-reaching railways in the whole Western Europe region.

The French Railways operates a network that spans all across the country. For people visiting Paris, they can travel from the southwest portion of France and from Brittany to Paris via the TGV or the train Grande vitesse. Within Paris, locals and tourists can use the RATP or Rgie Autonome des Transports Parisiens, which, aside from the rail and underground network, also includes a fully integrated bus that operates around the capital city.

If you prefer travelling from one place to another quickly via airplane, there is at least one reliable airport in every major town and city in France. The main airline that has regular trips everyday and connects the different towns and cities is Air France. Make sure that you check the official Air France website for ticket reservations especially during peak seasons.

You can also choose to get around by water and enjoy the beautiful French seaside scenery during travel. There are several car ferries that are owned and maintained by the state. These car ferries are called BACs and they are used to connect the larger French islands on the nearby Atlantic coast with the mainland.

These BACs are also known to regularly sail across the Gironde estuary, the place where the Dordogne and Garoone rivers merge. Different ferry lines serve specific islands. For Corsica, the ferries sailing between the island and the mainline are operated by SNCM or SocitNationale Maritime Corse-Mediterrane.

For visiting historic villages, towns and sites that are nearby the long stretch of navigable waterways of France, there are several ferries and boats that sail on regular intervals every day.
