French rail operator SNCF has decided to withdraw from the Eurail Select Pass in 2013. However, France will continue to be covered by the Eurail Global Pass, Eurail two-country Passes, and the France Rail Pass.
Travel agents can continue to book Eurail Select Passes that include France until midnight on 27th December 2012. As the Select Pass provides unlimited travel through three, four or five adjoining European countries and must be validated within six months of purchase, a pass sold on 27th December 2012 could be validated on 26th June 2013 and expire on 25th August 2013.
