Shown in the picture are train tickets (SNCF) and a concert ticket from FNAC, basically an electronics store, except they also sell tickets to concerts, sporting events, all kinds of things. More useful than an electronic store is obviously the high speed train: the TGV. It is incredible. I'll give an example.
I've probably mentioned that I was going to see my favorite French artist in Nantes in late November, well yesterday Gerald De Palmas cancelled most of his fall tour dates..this made me very mad for a few hours until I saw that a few dates were still on, including one in Lyon..in the east of France. So today I got to FNAC as quick as possible, exchanged my ticket for the show in Lyon, which just happens to fall on my 5 day break starting on Wed Nov 11! With that in hand, I went to the train station and bought my tickets for a great price to Lyon, it's less than 4 hours by train! And just like that, within 24 hours, I had solved my problem and I will be able to see Gerald De Palmas and one of the most interesting, and populated cities in France. at the same time! I'm sure that this concert will be incredible and the city will be just as good. This is all possible thanks to the ease of the TGV.....can't wait for Nov 11!
