Montpellier to Bordeaux Route Overview

The Montpellier to Bordeaux train crosses southern France from the Mediterranean side of Occitanie to the Garonne valley and the Atlantic wine region. Unlike many French long-distance routes that funnel through Paris, this east-west Intercites corridor links regional cities directly through Narbonne, Carcassonne, and Toulouse. The section west of Toulouse follows the classic line through Montauban and Agen before reaching Bordeaux Saint-Jean. Seats are reserved on most direct Intercites services, so choose a specific train rather than relying on open boarding.

Practical Information for Intercites Travelers

Luggage icon
SNCF Intercites trains have defined luggage rules and onboard storage areas. Label bags before boarding and keep aisles clear on the Montpellier to Bordeaux route.
Luggage Allowance
On SNCF Intercites services, each passenger may bring 2 pieces of luggage up to 70 x 90 x 50 cm each, plus 1 hand item up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm. Bags must be labeled with the passenger's name and kept within the permitted size limits.
Storage Facilities
Intercites coaches provide overhead racks for smaller bags and luggage areas near coach entrances or at the ends of seating saloons. Large suitcases should be placed in the designated racks rather than blocking seats, vestibules, or corridors.
Special Items
Folded bicycles in a cover, skis, folded scooters, and musical instruments can travel if they fit within the accepted luggage format. Non-folded bicycles require a bike space where available and must be booked when the service offers that option.
