Paris to Perpignan Route Overview

South of the high-speed sections, the route follows the conventional Mediterranean corridor through Narbonne into Roussillon. Near Leucate, lagoons and the Corbieres hills replace the urban scenery farther north. TGV INOUI and OUIGO tickets include an allocated seat; neither offers non-reserved boarding. Check the Paris station carefully if choosing a night train, which uses Austerlitz rather than Gare de Lyon.

Paris to Perpignan Map

Daytime TGV services use the LGV Sud-Est and Rhone valley high-speed corridor before reaching the Mediterranean railway through the Montpellier area, Beziers and Narbonne. Stops and the Montpellier station used vary by departure. The final conventional-line section runs past the lagoons near Leucate into Roussillon. The Paris Austerlitz night train instead approaches through Toulouse and Carcassonne.
