Practical Information for TGV Travelers

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring multiple pieces of luggage; there is no strict weight limit in standard fares but items must be manageable by the passenger. Large items should fit the luggage racks or be stored at the end of the coach.

Storage Facilities

TGV trains provide overhead racks and open luggage areas at the end of each coach. Place medium suitcases on racks and larger cases in the dedicated spaces to keep aisles clear.

Special Items

For bicycles, sports equipment or musical instruments, check operator rules in advance. Some items require disassembly, reservation or a special booking; availability for bulky goods is not guaranteed on all services.
