The flagship fleet operated by SNCF consists of TGV trains. Every day, high-speed TGV trains leave and arrive from Paris. Because of its double-decker carriages, which accommodate a large number of people on each route and offer breathtaking views to those who are fortunate enough to secure a seat on the upper deck, the trains are incredibly popular. The majority of trains also have a food carriage, or cafe-bar, where passengers may have hot meals and drinks. Use the free WiFi to order your food from your seat and avoid the queue when you pick it up for quick service.

Destinations include: Marseille, Nice, Strasbourg, Lyon and Bordeaux
Coaches: First and Second Class

All around France, significant terminals and destinations are serviced by SNCF Intercities trains. Intercities trains run at night as well, so these trips can be ideal if you want to avoid paying a lot for a hotel room or have an early start. If you would like to unwind and perhaps even get some sleep while travelling, there are peaceful areas. If you’re travelling with young children, then there are selected Intercities that have special play area compartments.

Destinations include: Le Havre, Lyon and Bordeaux in comfort and speed.

You can find yourself on a TER train if you're travelling inside an area of France and wish to move around easily and fast. The TER trains run on shorter routes throughout France. TER trains aren't fast and stop more frequently, but they're a very practical and affordable method to travel the nation if you don't mind changing stations.

With SNCF's affordable high-speed rail service, OUIGO, travellers in France can travel between cities on a budget. Compared to their more expensive TGV cousins, OUIGO trains don’t have several creature comforts. But it also means that OUIGO service tickets are much less expensive.
