Site Description: The train is one of the most convenient ways to travel through France. At the official site of the French rail service, called the SNCF, you get train schedules, make your reservations and purchase tickets for everything from local trains to the TGV.

You are traveling from Paris to the island of Belle-Ile-en-Mer off the coast of Brittany. First, you will take the TGV from Paris to Auray. Go to the reservations section of the SNCF site. Choose your dates and get a train schedule.

1. What time does the train leave Paris? What time does it arrive in Auray?
