Dijon to Metz Route Overview

The Dijon to Metz route links Burgundy with Lorraine without requiring travel through Paris, which is useful for cross-country trips in eastern France. The distinctive part of the trip is the approach through Lorraine, where many services pass Nancy before continuing to Metz along the Moselle corridor. Seat reservations are mandatory on TGV INOUI services and included with the ticket, while TER trains generally use open seating without assigned places. For travelers with tight onward plans, a direct TGV or a single-change itinerary at Nancy is usually safer than a route with multiple regional connections.

Practical Information for TGV and TER Travelers

French domestic trains require passengers to carry and store their own bags. Space differs between TGV INOUI and regional TER trainsets, so compact luggage is easier on this route.

Luggage Allowance

On TGV INOUI, passengers may bring 2 large bags plus 1 item of hand luggage, with each large item generally limited to 130 cm on its longest side. TER luggage is not checked, but bags must be manageable by the passenger and must not block aisles, doors, or seats.

Storage Facilities

TGV INOUI trains have overhead racks for small bags and luggage areas near carriage entrances for larger suitcases. TER trains usually provide overhead shelves and limited floor-level spaces, with less room on busy regional departures around Nancy and Metz.

Special Items

Folded bicycles in a cover, skis, and musical instruments can travel if they fit onboard storage and do not obstruct other passengers. Fully assembled bicycles are accepted only on selected TER services with bike spaces and are not automatically permitted on all TGV INOUI trains.

The train links Dijon Ville and Metz Ville without airport transfers and with several daily options via Nancy or direct services. Long-distance buses between Dijon and Metz are usually less frequent and can take about 5 to 6 hours depending on the stop pattern. Flying is not practical for this city pair because there are no regular direct flights and airport access would add substantial time. Rail also has a lower carbon footprint than driving or flying on this domestic route.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
