Dijon to Valence Route Overview

This route links Burgundy with the lower Rhone valley, so the scenery changes from vineyard country around Dijon and the Cote Chalonnaise to the broad Rhone corridor south of Lyon. A distinctive feature is the station split at Valence: many fast trains stop at Valence TGV Rhone-Alpes Sud, which sits outside the center and is connected to Valence Ville by regional trains. TGV INOUI services normally require a reserved seat, while TER regional segments may have open seating without a specific seat assignment. If your ticket includes a Lyon Part-Dieu change, check the platform screens closely because TGV and TER trains use different parts of the same large station.

Practical Information for TGV and TER Travelers

Dijon to Valence passengers may use TGV INOUI and TER trains on the same ticket. Pack so that you can carry your own bags during platform changes, especially at Lyon Part-Dieu.

Luggage Allowance

On TGV INOUI, passengers may bring 2 large pieces of luggage with maximum dimensions of 130 cm each, plus 1 item of hand baggage. Bags must be labelled with the passenger's name. TER trains use similar carry-on practice, but space is first come, first served.

Storage Facilities

TGV INOUI trainsets have overhead racks, end-of-car luggage shelves, and spaces between some seat backs for medium bags. TER trains have overhead racks and limited larger-bag areas near doors, so compact luggage is easier during busy Lyon connections.

Special Items

Folded bicycles in a cover, skis, and musical instruments may be carried if they fit the luggage limits and do not block aisles. Fully assembled bicycles require a dedicated bike space where offered and must be booked when the service requires it.

Rail gives a city-to-city option from Dijon Ville to Valence TGV or Valence Ville without using airports at either end. Coach travel between Dijon and Valence is usually slower and often requires a change in Lyon, with total travel times near 5 to 7 hours. Flying is not practical for this city pair because neither end has a strong direct air link and airport transfers would add more time than the rail trip itself. Electric rail also has lower emissions than driving or flying on this Burgundy to Rhone Valley corridor.

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