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 aboard TGV trains:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring several pieces of luggage; there is no strict piece limit but items should be manageable and placed in racks. Typical size guidance is that large suitcases fit in designated luggage areas or at the end of carriages.

Storage Facilities

TGV trains have overhead racks for small bags and luggage shelves or spaces at the end of cars for larger suitcases. Keep smaller items under the seat or in overhead compartments for access during the journey.

Special Items

For bulky items such as bicycles or musical instruments, check with the operator in advance. Some TGV services permit folded bicycles or items stored in luggage areas subject to space availability and possible additional rules.
