The MAX SENIOR subscription: MAX JEUNE's big sister
After the success of the MAX JEUNE subscription in 2017, SNCF decided to extend its offer to travelers aged 60 and over. That's how the MAX SENIOR subscription was born.
Inspired by MAX JEUNE, this subscription offers the same benefits, while being tailored to seniors aged 60 and over.
It lets you travel almost unlimited on weekdays on a selection of TGV INOUI (excluding OUIGO) and INTERCITÉS trains, with the bonus of possible trips to Europe, notably Luxembourg and Freiburg im Breisgau in Germany.
MAX SENIOR quickly becomes cost-effective if you make more than two round trips by train per week. With this subscription, you travel freely, at a fixed price, all year round.
Please note: booking remains mandatory for every trip. Without it, your ticket will not be valid with SNCF.
