For providing free train rides for 60,000 youth
60,000 free train tickets will be up for grabs this summer for young people in France and Germany.
Aimed at those aged under 27, the scheme will allow travellers to go from one country to the other and travel around by rail once there, similar to an Interrail pass.
The rail scheme was announced by the two countries’ transport ministers, Clément Beaune and Volker Wissing, at the weekend. The goal of the initiative is to encourage travel and build a cultural exchange between France and Germany.
“To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Elysée Treaty, 60,000 tickets will be made available free of charge, according to terms that will be specified shortly,” Beaune and Wissing said in a joint statement.
Beaune added that the initiative is also aimed at encouraging more young people to take the train and is in line with France’s climate ambitions.
Travellers hoping to take advantage of the scheme will likely have to enter a lottery for the tickets, according to French media reports.
National rail services Deutsche Bahn and SNCF will financially support the scheme.

I really hope this will be implemented! Also, I've read that they discussed opening a night train between Paris and Berlin. This is great!
