Paris to Toulouse Route Overview

The Paris to Toulouse route is partly high-speed and partly classic railway, which is why journey times are longer than fully high-speed French corridors of similar distance. A distinctive part of the trip is the change of landscape after Bordeaux, where trains leave the high-speed line and run through the Garonne valley with stops such as Agen and Montauban on many services. TGV INOUI and OUIGO tickets are train-specific with compulsory seat reservations, while Intercites can also require or include reservations depending on the service. If your ticket departs from Paris Austerlitz rather than Paris Montparnasse, allow time to reach the correct station because they are on different sides of central Paris.

Practical Information for TGV Travelers

Paris to Toulouse trains use French high-speed and Intercites rolling stock, so luggage rules differ slightly by service. Check the selected fare if traveling on OUIGO, as paid luggage options may apply.

Luggage Allowance

On TGV INOUI, passengers may generally bring 2 large pieces of luggage with a maximum size of 130 cm each, plus 1 item of hand baggage. OUIGO basic fares include limited cabin baggage and charge for extra or larger bags, while Intercites rules are broadly similar to SNCF long-distance luggage limits.

Storage Facilities

TGV trains have overhead racks for small bags, luggage stacks near carriage entrances, and spaces between some back-to-back seats. Intercites trains usually have end-of-car racks and overhead shelves, with less large-case space than modern TGV trainsets.

Special Items

Folded bicycles in a cover, skis, boards, and musical instruments must fit within accepted luggage dimensions or use a service that allows booked bike spaces. Full-size bicycles require a specific bike reservation where available and are not accepted on all TGV or OUIGO departures.

Paris to Toulouse Map

The Paris to Toulouse route starts at Paris Montparnasse for most high-speed trains, using the LGV Atlantique and LGV Sud Europe Atlantique toward Tours, Poitiers, Angouleme, and Bordeaux Saint-Jean. South of Bordeaux, trains continue on the classic Bordeaux-Toulouse line via Agen and Montauban before reaching Toulouse Matabiau. Intercites services from Paris Austerlitz use a different classic-line routing and take longer.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

The train links central Paris with Toulouse Matabiau without transfers to Charles de Gaulle, Orly, or Toulouse-Blagnac airports. Direct TGV services take just over 4 hours on the fastest departures, while coaches normally take 8 to 10 hours between Paris and Toulouse. Flights have about 1 hour 20 minutes in the air, but airport access, security, boarding, and baggage collection add time to the full trip. Electric rail travel also produces lower emissions per passenger than flying on this domestic corridor.
