Compulsory reservation for your bike on TGV Inoui

When you buy your train ticket, you need to book a space for your bike. The fee is €10 per bike per journey.

You must therefore make sure to book a space for your bike at the same time as buying your train ticket.

As a result, cyclists must make separate bookings if travelling with non-cyclists, as seats cannot be assigned together on the same booking.

If you can't find any space available for your bike, this means that the chosen TGV Inoui train has no reserved bike space, or that these spaces are already full.

In this case, you have the option of dismantling your bike and storing it in a cover, which is free of charge and doesn't require advance booking.

Travelling with a bike that is not dismantled or folded

If you're travelling with a bike that isn't dismantled or folded, each passenger can carry one labelled item of luggage with maximum dimensions of 70 x 90 x 50 cm (suitcase, large backpack, hiking bag, sports bag), one labelled double bike pannier, and one labelled piece of hand luggage with maximum dimensions of 40 x 30 x 15 cm (backpack, tote bag, laptop bag).

Folded or dismantled bikes in a cover

If your bike is folded or dismantled and stored in a labelled cover, each passenger can carry one folded or dismantled bike in a labelled cover with maximum dimensions of 90 x 130 cm, one labelled double bike pannier, and one labelled piece of hand luggage with maximum dimensions of 40 x 30 x 15 cm (backpack, tote bag, laptop bag).

If your bike is dismantlable, it must be placed in a labelled cover before accessing the platforms. If your bike is foldable, you can carry it by hand and fold it near your carriage.
