We recently discovered one of the most innovative companies in the world of online travel sales: Go Euro. Go Euro is a travel search site that compares and combines air, rail, bus and car rental options across Europe. Its ultimate aim is to simplify European transport booking systems, which can be complex for tourists… As you can see from the studies, the European travel market is dominated by two players: trains and buses, which account for more than two-thirds. There are 650 airports and 60,000 train stations. Unfortunately, few sites are capable of taking all parameters and all modes of transport into account in their travel research. Naren Shaam’s vision is quite revolutionary, because it enables travellers to have a global vision of their trip, and not just of a plane or a train, and it’s Forbes that says so. After all, arriving at an airport or train station is usually where the trouble starts for the traveler, especially if he or she has to go to the provinces. Launched ten months ago, the GoEuro website is now optimized for seven countries: Germany, the UK, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy and now France. In addition to the complexity of journeys, it’s the price of travel that varies enormously. From one country to another, the differences can be considerable. 
Overall, France is one of the 25 cheapest destinations in the world to travel to, although it is more expensive than Spain and Germany. More detailed information.
Train price index
At 7.79 euros per 100km, France is not one of the cheapest countries in the world to travel by train, but it does rank well in Europe, albeit behind the UK. This is still considerably cheaper than Switzerland’s 29.73 euros per 100km. For a fuller analysis, see Challenges. 
When it comes to buses, the Netherlands is the most expensive country in the world. Now let’s take a look at the United Kingdom and its Ryan Air and Easyjet flights. don’t offer the best fares in Europe, France is half the price. For the cheapest in Europe, you’ll have to go to Spain and Italy.
