Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring multiple pieces of luggage; there is no strict weight limit enforced for standard carry-ons but large items should be manageable by one person. Keep luggage within available storage dimensions and label items for identification.

Rail travel on TGV connects city centers directly, reducing transfer times compared with air travel that requires airport transfers. Trains provide allocated seating and luggage allowances without lengthy check-in. Buses operate at lower fares but have much longer journey times. Flights are faster in the air but total door-to-door time and airport procedures often increase travel duration compared with the TGV.

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