It’s a good point about deciding your itinerary before you go, but @twitter-305534972:disqus is right. It can be much cheaper if you book point to point tickets in advance. For example a train going tomorrow from Paris to Nice will probably cost around £100, but if you look 90 days ahead or more (when available) you can do the same trip for a quarter of the price, around £28.

This is not true at all, quite often unless you’re going to take lots and lots of trains, point topoint tickets are cheaper, especially when you book 3 or 4 months in advance. Plus you have made no mention of reservations… even if you have a railpass, you’ll need to buy seat reservations on many trains. Plus passes are not valid on some trains like the Eurostar so do your homework first.
