BASE PROSPECTUS

Réseau Ferré de France
(established as an "établissement public industriel et commercial"
under the laws of the Republic of France)
Euro 30,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme

Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its capacity as competent
authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 on prospectuses for securities to approve this document as a base
prospectus. Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for notes (the Notes) issued under the
programme (the Programme) described in this Base Prospectus to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange during the period of 12
months from the date of publication of this Base Prospectus. The Programme also permits Notes to be issued on the basis that
they may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchanges as may be agreed
between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s). The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading
on any market.
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these, see "Risk Factors"
on pages 21 to 27.
This Base Prospectus replaces and supersedes in its entirety the Base Prospectus dated 11 June 2009, and the Supplements
thereto dated 15 October 2009, 25 February 2010 and 19 April 2010, relating to the Programme.
The Programme has been rated Aaa by Moody`s Investors Service, AAA by Standard & Poor`s Ratings Services and AAA by
Fitch Ratings. Credit ratings are subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the relevant rating organisation.
Where an issue of Notes is rated, its rating will not necessarily be the same as the rating assigned to the Programme. A rating
is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, change or withdrawal at any time by
the assigning rating agency.
Any person (an Investor) intending to acquire or acquiring any securities from any person (an Offeror) should be aware that,
in the context of an offer to the public, the Issuer may be responsible to the Investor for the Base Prospectus, but only if the
Issuer has authorised that Offeror to make the offer to the Investor. Each Investor should therefore enquire whether the
Offeror is so authorised by the Issuer. If the Offeror is not authorised by the Issuer, the Investor should check with the Offeror
whether anyone is responsible for the Base Prospectus in the context of the offer to the public, and, if so, who that person is.
If the Investor is in any doubt about whether it can rely on the Base Prospectus and/or who is responsible for its contents it
should take legal advice.

General Description of the Programme

General Description of the Programme
Under the Programme, the Issuer may from time to time issue Notes denominated in any currency, subject as set
out herein. A summary of the Terms and Conditions of the Programme and the Notes appears below. The
applicable terms of any Notes will be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer prior to the issue of the
Notes and will be set out in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, as modified by the applicable Final Terms
attached to, or endorsed on, such Notes, as more fully described under "Form of the Notes" below.
This Base Prospectus and any supplement will only be valid for the admission to trading of Notes on the regulated
market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, if applicable, in an aggregate nominal amount which, when added to
the aggregate nominal amount then outstanding of all Notes previously or simultaneously issued under the
Programme, does not exceed Euro 30,000,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies. For the purpose of
calculating the euro equivalent of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes issued under the Programme from time
to time:
(a)
the euro equivalent of Notes denominated in another Specified Currency (as specified in the "Form of
Final Terms" on pages 68 and 88) shall be determined, at the discretion of the Issuer, either as of the date
on which agreement is reached for the issue of Notes or on the preceding day on which commercial banks
and foreign exchange markets are open for business in London, in each case on the basis of the spot rate
for the sale of the euro against the purchase of such Specified Currency in the London foreign exchange
market quoted by any leading international bank selected by the Issuer on the relevant day of calculation;
(b)
the euro equivalent of Index Linked Notes, Dual Currency Notes and Partly Paid Notes (each as specified
in the applicable Final Terms under "Form of Final Terms" on pages 73, 74, 77 and pages 93, 94, 97) shall
be calculated in the manner specified above by reference to the original nominal amount on issue of such
Notes (in the case of Partly Paid Notes regardless of the subscription price paid); and
(c)
the euro equivalent of Zero Coupon Notes (as specified in the applicable Final Terms under "Form of
Final Terms" on pages 73 and 93) and other Notes issued at a discount or a premium shall be calculated in
the manner specified above by reference to the net proceeds received by the Issuer for the relevant issue.
