Thus, Diane leaves for Bordeaux (Gironde) to join her best friend. For her, there was no question of taking her tickets at the last minute. “I took my train tickets two months in advance (…) to anticipate everything that is strike etc and because the tickets are expensive”justifies the young woman.
