Now you might think - why would anyone want to take a snail on a train? But French rail operator SNCF has strict rules for animals - you can take a pet with you on all French domestic services (although not the Eurostar) but it needs a ticket. There is even a pricing structure, with pets weighing less than 6kg travelling on a flat fare of €7, while for larger pets it depends how far they are going. Animals weighing over 6kg also need to have a muzzle. Guide dogs are the exception to this and travel free, although there is no such exemption for emotional support animals, so however comforting your pet snail may be, he or she still needs a ticket.
