It’s always a long-awaited moment. This Tuesday, June 20, the SNCF unveiled the flagship destinations of the summer. Are there any surprises? Element of answers with the journalist Dorothée Lachaud, present on the set of 13 Hours.
What are the top summer destinations this year? The SNCF unveiled the winners this Tuesday, June 20 and there are no surprises. “This year again, it is the great classics that seduce. The most popular destinations are also Languedoc and Pays-de-la-Loire.“, reveals the journalist Dorothée Lachaud, present on the set of 13 Hours. “By 2022, 23 million tickets had been sold in the summer. The SNCF assures that there will be 450,000 more places this year, thanks in particular to the transition from single trains to double trains. she continues.
The problem of overtourism
The stakes are high for the SNCF, because the majority of French people go to the same place for their holidays. A situation that poses the problem of overtourism. Some municipalities thus close access to tourist sites. Overtourism also drives up housing prices. “In Biarritz, for example, a very popular destination in summer, if we take the week of July 15, it is difficult to find private accommodation for less than 105 euros per night for 4 people”, notes Dorothée Lachaud. “Do not hesitate to turn to destinations that are a little less sought after”advises the journalist.
