Travel with your bike

Indications pour le vélo non démonté, non plié

Reserving a place for your bike is compulsory when you buy your train ticket. The cost is €10 per bike per journey.

If you travel with an unassembled, unfolded bike, you can take up to 1 piece of labeled luggage per person, with maximum dimensions of 70 x 90 x 50 cm (suitcase, large backpack, hiking bag, sports bag), 1 labeled double bicycle bag and 1 piece of labeled hand luggage with maximum dimensions of 40 x 30 x 15 cm (backpack, shopping bag, computer bag).

Voyagez avec un vélo plié ou démonté sous housse

If you travel with a folded or disassembled bicycle in a labeled bag, you can take up to 1 folded or disassembled bicycle per person in a labeled bag measuring a maximum of 90 x 130 x 50 cm, 1 labeled double bicycle bag and 1 labeled piece of hand luggage measuring a maximum of 40 x 30 x 15 cm (backpack, shopping bag, computer bag). If your bicycle can be disassembled, it must be disassembled and placed in a labeled bag before accessing the platforms. If your bike is foldable, you can carry it by hand and fold it near your car.

Not all bicycles are accepted on board TGV INOUI trains. Recumbent bicycles, tricycles, tandems, cargo bikes, longtails, trailers, bicycles transported in a box and any bicycle whose dimensions are greater than those of a conventional bicycle are not authorized.

To reserve or not to reserve?

Reserving a seat for an unmounted bike is only available on certain TGV INOUI trains. If your search does not return any results at the time of booking, this means that there is no space available for your bike. Folded or dismantled, stored in a bag (maximum 90 x 130 x 50 cm), it does not need a reserved seat.

Failure to comply with the baggage policy on board TGV INOUI trains may result in the payment of a minimum of €50 per item of non-conforming or excess baggage (maximum €150).

For more information, please consult the SNCF Voyageurs fares.

Travel with TGV INOUI to and from Europe

These rules also apply to TGV INOUI trains to and from Spain, Belgium, Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany) and Luxembourg. However, specific rules apply to baggage on board TGV INOUI trains to and from Italy.

Your cabin luggage or other small bags: place them at your feet, under the seat in front of you or above your seat.
Your other luggage: leave it at the entrance or in the center of your car, as well as in the free spaces on the floor between certain seats, back-to-back.

Luggage, yes! Bulky items, no!

To ensure the smooth flow of traffic and the safety of all passengers (particularly in the event of fire, evacuation, on-board medical care, etc.), please do not obstruct train corridors and access doors with your luggage and personal belongings.

Responsible travel

If you obstruct traffic in the corridors or improperly occupy a seat or luggage space, you are liable to a fine of €150.

- Unusual: perishable goods with an unpleasant odor or plants.

- Intended for trade: products whose quantity and/or packaging unequivocally demonstrate that the passenger ticket is being diverted for the purpose of transporting goods which should have been handled by an operator specialized in this field.

Can't find your luggage?

Don't panic, get in touch with one of our agents.
When unidentified baggage is found, an announcement is made in the station or on board. If no one comes forward, the Vigipirate procedure may be activated.
