Without the subscription

For the same route without TGV Max, the official SNCF fare grid for TGV INOUI and OUIGO lists tickets from 16–115 € in second class at the standard fare. It is a reference range, not today's price: the actual amount depends on the date and how full the train is.

Where these figures come from

Andiamo reads the public dataset “tgvmax” published by SNCF on its Open Data portal, under the ODbL licence (attribution: SNCF Voyageurs / data.sncf.com). It covers around 30 rolling days, exactly the horizon of TGV Max bookings, which open 30 days ahead. The page is regenerated at most once an hour and shows the date and time of its measurement at the top: a seat seen here can be gone between the measurement and your booking.

Who publishes this page

Andiamo is an independent tool with no ties to SNCF. TGV Max is an SNCF subscription, not an Andiamo product: booking happens with SNCF, using your subscription.
