Practical Information for TGV INOUI Travelers

On Paris - Colmar TGV INOUI trains, label your bags and bring only luggage you can carry yourself. If changing to TER in Strasbourg, you must move all items between trains.

Luggage Allowance

TGV INOUI permits two bags per person, each up to 70 x 90 x 50 cm, plus one hand bag up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm. There is no fixed kilogram limit, but you must be able to carry and store everything yourself.

Storage Facilities

Use the luggage racks near carriage entrances for larger cases and the overhead or under-seat spaces for smaller items. TGV layouts vary, including double-deck sets; keep stairs, doors and aisles clear.

Special Items

A folded or dismantled bicycle must be in a cover no larger than 130 x 90 cm. An assembled bicycle requires a designated bicycle space and reservation where offered; not every Paris - Colmar TGV has one. Check TGV special-baggage rules for instruments and sports equipment, plus separate TER bicycle restrictions if connecting.

Paris to Colmar Map

From Paris Est, the route uses LGV Est across eastern France toward Strasbourg, then turns south onto the Strasbourg - Basel conventional line to Colmar. Stops vary by departure; Selestat lies on the final section but is not served by every TGV. Beyond Strasbourg, the Upper Rhine plain opens out with the Vosges to the west. Routes involving a change generally transfer at Strasbourg.

Rating

TGV INOUI links central Paris with Colmar without an airport transfer, and Strasbourg connections add departure choices. Coaches typically require much of a day or an overnight journey; the bus figures below are indicative estimates. Colmar has no scheduled passenger air service comparable to this train route, so the flight figures refer to Paris - Basel/Mulhouse, excluding onward travel. Electric rail generally has lower operational emissions per passenger than flying this corridor.

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