Practical Information for TGV Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on TGV Trains. Traveling on TGV and TER services includes rules for carry-on and larger items. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard high-speed and regional services:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring standard suitcases and carry-on bags without a strict weight limit, but items must be manageable and stored in racks. Large items should comply with space limitations on TGV and TER services.

Storage Facilities

TGV trains are equipped with overhead racks and dedicated luggage areas near doors. TER regional trains have limited storage; storing luggage close to your seat or in designated spaces is recommended.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments or oversized equipment, check operator rules before travel. Some TER services require folding bikes or reservations for large items, and space is subject to availability.
