Practical Information for TGV Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on TGV Trains. Traveling on TGV services includes rules for carry-on and larger items. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage on TGV and TER services between Paris and Lille:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring carry-on items and larger luggage. Typical recommendations are two pieces of luggage plus a small bag; there are no strict weight limits for most TGV fares but items must be manageable for storage and carriage.

Storage Facilities

TGV trains provide overhead racks and luggage areas near carriage doors. Larger suitcases can be stored in dedicated spaces at the end of cars; TER regional trains have similar, but sometimes smaller, storage options.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments or oversized sports equipment, check operator rules in advance. Space for special items is subject to availability and may require advance booking or a supplemental fee.
