Will be in Paris on couple day trip and would like to do a day trip to Chartes (leave early morning/return same day)…will be there in a couple months from now. Ideally I’d like to wait until last minute to get best weather/more flexibility, but if there is a considerable price difference buying in advance then would like to save the money as will be buying for a few of us. I once did a train trip in the UK when I bought a ticket in advance for about 10 quid, would have been about 80 quid day of trip.
