Montpellier to Valence Route Overview

This route links the Languedoc coast area with the middle Rhone Valley, using high-speed sections north of Montpellier and the LGV Mediterranee toward Valence. A distinctive feature is the arrival at Valence TGV Rhone-Alpes Sud, a purpose-built high-speed station outside central Valence with TER links to Valence Ville and Romans-Bourg-de-Peage. TGV INOUI seats are reserved, so the ticket is tied to a specific train, while TER tickets on this corridor are generally non-reserved and used on the selected regional service. For travelers continuing toward Grenoble, Annecy, or Lyon, Valence TGV often works as a rail junction rather than a city-center arrival point.

Practical Information for TGV INOUI Travelers

Montpellier to Valence TGV and TER trains allow passengers to carry their own luggage, but bags must be manageable and stored without blocking aisles or doors.

Luggage Allowance

On TGV INOUI, passengers may bring 2 large pieces up to 130 cm each plus 1 item of hand baggage, provided each item can be carried and lifted without staff assistance. TER trains follow similar self-carry rules, with no checked luggage service.

Storage Facilities

TGV INOUI coaches have overhead racks for smaller bags and larger luggage areas near coach entrances or mid-coach shelves. TER trains on the Rhone corridor usually have overhead racks and open spaces near doors, with less room for large suitcases at busy times.

Special Items

Folded bicycles in a cover, skis, and musical instruments can usually travel if they fit the onboard luggage spaces. Fully assembled bicycles require a designated bike space where available and may need a bike reservation on some long-distance services.

Montpellier to Valence Map

The Montpellier to Valence route runs north from Montpellier Saint-Roch or Montpellier Sud de France through the lower Rhone corridor. TGV services use high-speed infrastructure via the Nimes and Avignon area before reaching Valence TGV Rhone-Alpes Sud. Slower TER routes can pass Nimes, Avignon Centre, Orange, Pierrelatte, and Montelimar before Valence Ville. The line follows flat Languedoc terrain, vineyards, and the Rhone Valley approach to the Drome.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

The train links Montpellier and Valence without airport transfers, and the fastest TGV INOUI services cover the trip in close to 1 hour 10 minutes. Intercity buses between the two cities usually take around 3 to 4 hours and may use stops outside the rail stations. Flying is rarely practical for this city pair because there are no useful direct flights, and routing through another airport makes total travel time much longer than rail. Electric rail travel also produces lower emissions than driving or flying on this short Rhone Valley corridor.
