Good news for animal lovers! Your little companion weighing under 6 kg can travel for a small fee of €7.
For animals weighing more than 6 kg, the fee is 50% of the price of a 2nd class ticket.
Good news for those travelling at mealtimes: a catering service was offered on every iDTGV train, now renamed inOUI trains.
If you like to work on the train, you'll also find power sockets on the newer trains. No risk of running out of battery!
These services, now available throughout the whole train, have replaced the IDZAP tickets. The concept was to offer a space with a friendly atmosphere, perfect for working or relaxing. Now with inOUI, this is available in every seat!
When selecting options and services, all you had to do was tick the box for passengers with reduced mobility. You would then be given a courteous welcome at the station and assistance boarding the train. Still, remember to notify SNCF at least 48 hours before your departure by following this link, to make sure you're taken care of on the day!
On iDTGV inOUI trains, you were allowed to bring two pieces of hand luggage.
If that wasn't enough, you could take out a luggage supplement when booking your ticket. This would cost you €35 if you booked online and €45 if you sorted it out directly at the station ticket office. Try to travel light — it only has advantages: you'll have less trouble carrying your bags, and you'll also save money!
At iDTGV, tickets were checked 20 min before boarding and up to 5 min before departure! However, don't panic, as checks were done quickly, so there was no reason to be late.
You could print your ticket or show it on your phone or tablet! In this second case, always make sure you have enough battery left on your devices. It would be a shame to miss the train because of that.
Good news! A child could travel alone on IDTGV trains, but remained under their parents' responsibility. It's important that your child travels with ID and a parental authorisation if leaving the country.
Unfortunately, the "Junior et Cie" escort service was not available on iDTGV trains.
You could freely choose your preferred seat when booking with iDTGV by clicking the "train diagram" option. And if you changed your mind, it was also possible to change your choice later. This way, you were guaranteed a pleasant journey!
Want to discover new places/new cities, or simply unwind during a trip? SNCF offered the iDTGV line, connecting Paris to around fifty destinations across the country and vice versa! Note that today, iDTGV trains have been called inOui since late 2017.
For any questions or complaints, find all OUI.sncf contact details (the new identity of Voyages-sncf.com) on this page.
Keep in mind that iDTGV trains are now called inOUI trains.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to cancel your iDTGV ticket in case of unforeseen circumstances. However, you can modify your booking up to 5 hours before the train's departure. This exchange fee costs €15. And be careful: iDTGV tickets can only be exchanged for other iDTGV tickets. So it's not possible to switch from an iDTGV to an Ouigo, sorry.
There was no loyalty programme for iDTGV trains. Even the SNCF Voyageur card didn't count...
You could buy iDTGV tickets via the Tictactrip website.
You could get either an e-ticket to print or an m-ticket to show directly on mobile.
For more information on current TGV offers, please refer to the inOUI train page.
Paris and Avignon used to be connected by the iDTGV line. Today it's Oui.SNCF that serves this route for your comfort. Nice!
Worth visiting in Avignon: the Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes)! Its historical importance is impressive, and it's architecturally stunning.
We also recommend going to see the Pont Saint-Bénézet. And don't forget the old French song: on the bridge of Avignon, everyone dances!
With iDTGV, a Paris Chambéry ticket didn't cost much at all — see for yourself!
As soon as you arrive, you can discover lovely sights, such as the Fontaine des Éléphants (Elephant Fountain). It's a fantastic destination, both culturally and for a change of scenery and relaxation!
But people mostly go to Chambéry for the skiing! From this city, it's very easy to reach various ski resorts! So cool!
It was very easy to hop on a quick Paris Toulouse trip with iDTGV. No stopovers, no problem!
Toulouse is sometimes called the pink city because many of its buildings are built from pink brick. It's a lovely nickname for a lovely city. Don't forget to take plenty of photos to make your friends jealous! 😉
The Basilica of Saint-Sernin, a beautiful building to discover during your stay in Toulouse! Don't miss it under any circumstances! Culturally, Toulouse will intrigue you, and with a bit of luck, the pink city will reveal its secrets...
Today iDTGV no longer exists, two offers replace it: TGV and OuiGo. Launched in 2004 by SNCF, iDTGV trains were a distinctive way to travel by TGV. They let travellers choose the vibe on board their TGV.
For example, you could choose:
But iDTGV tickets started from €19 and could be booked between 4 and 6 months in advance. Very cheap, the price of these tickets changed over time and depending on each train's occupancy rate.
iDTGV tickets were however subject to a very strict cancellation and modification policy, as they were non-refundable and exchangeable only for a ticket of equal or higher value. Discount cards and subscription cards were also not valid for iDTGV SNCF tickets.
The iDTGV offer ended in late 2017 to make way for the inOui service, the new SNCF train service! (Find out more about inOui high-speed trains by clicking the previous link.)
iDTGV also played a crucial role in developing this new brand. iDTGV was in a way SNCF's testing lab, through the sale of certain additional services such as tablet rental or the sale of newspapers on board, in order to gauge passenger interest in these services, for example.
The iDTGV website and its former Twitter account came across as light-hearted and fun @iDTGV. Those were the good old days of iDTGV! Even though the account is no longer active today, you can still find that offbeat spirit.
So we hope you now understand the difference between iDTGV and the TGV offer. The former no longer exists and worked with online bookings (often at better prices). Meanwhile, the TGV offer still exists and is available online as well as at various physical ticket outlets.
