🚸 Travel conditions for minors on Ouigo Train Classique

En savoir plus

Traveling with minors aboard a OUIGO Train Classique: what you need to know

If you're traveling with a minor aboard a OUIGO Train Classique train, it's essential to know the applicable rules to ensure a safe and stress-free trip for the whole family.

Children under 4: they can travel free of charge, provided they sit on an adult's lap. If you'd like them to have their own seat, you'll need to buy a child ticket at the applicable rate. This flexibility lets families travel at a lower cost.

Children aged 4 to 11: they can travel alone aboard a OUIGO train, but only if you provide a written and signed parental authorization from the legal guardian. This authorization must be shown in case of an onboard check.

Teenagers aged 12 to 16: they can also travel unaccompanied, but must have identification (ID card or passport) in addition to the signed parental authorization. This rule ensures their independence while guaranteeing their safety.

It's important to note that OUIGO does not offer an escort service for unaccompanied minors. If your child cannot travel alone, they'll need to be accompanied by an adult or relative. You could also consider other companies offering a dedicated escort service.

In short, traveling with a child on a OUIGO train is entirely possible and often cost-effective. You just need to prepare the necessary documents, especially for unaccompanied children, and plan the trip carefully. This will ensure a stress-free journey, whether traveling as a family or for a young independent traveler.

♿️ Access for people with reduced mobility on Ouigo Train Classique

En savoir plus

Traveling by train can sometimes seem intimidating for people with disabilities or reduced mobility. That's why OUIGO Train Classique has set up a range of measures to make the travel experience simpler, smoother and more inclusive. Whether you use a wheelchair, are visually impaired or have difficulty getting around, adapted solutions exist.

For wheelchair users, reserved spaces are provided aboard OUIGO Train Classique trains. These spaces are designed to guarantee comfortable and safe access. It's essential to inform them of your situation when booking to ensure availability of these seats.

If you are hard of hearing or visually impaired, OUIGO also offers specific measures. Announcements on the trains are both audible and visual (on screens), letting everyone follow information in real time. In addition, assistance can be requested for boarding and alighting, to help you throughout your journey.

People with reduced mobility who don't need a wheelchair can benefit from seats located near the doors, reducing movement inside the train. Again, it's recommended to mention your needs when booking to access these accommodations.

Assistance for passengers with disabilities begins at the departure station, and continues through to the arrival station. It's advisable to arrive about 30 minutes before the train departs so the OUIGO team can assist you under the best conditions.

OUIGO is committed to making train travel accessible to all. Having traveled with OUIGO in this context myself, I can attest to the professionalism and attention given to every passenger. This is one of the reasons why I recommend OUIGO Train Classique for people with specific needs.

Finally, since each situation is unique, we recommend contacting OUIGO before your departure to best adapt your trip. Planning ahead ensures a smoother, more comfortable and enjoyable experience. Train travel can and should be accessible to everyone, and OUIGO works toward this every day.

💸 Ouigo Train Classique cancellation and refund policy

En savoir plus

Cancellation and change policy for OUIGO Train Classique tickets

OUIGO Train Classique tickets are offered at very competitive prices, which comes with fairly strict cancellation conditions. As a general rule, tickets are non-refundable once purchased. This is a deliberate choice by OUIGO to keep prices as low as possible for all travelers.

That said, you can change your ticket up to 1 hour before departure. You can change the date, time or even destination, subject to availability. Change fees may apply, depending on when the request is made and the price of the new ticket.

Exceptions may be considered in cases of force majeure (serious illness, accident, etc.). In this case, you must contact OUIGO customer service directly and provide supporting documentation. The decision to cancel or refund remains at the company's discretion.

Refund in case of train cancellation or delay

If your OUIGO Train Classique train is cancelled or delayed by more than 60 minutes, you're entitled to compensation. This request must be made within 60 days of your travel date, directly via the official OUIGO website.

The refund is issued as OUIGO vouchers, valid for a future booking. The amount depends on the delay recorded:

  • Delay of 60 to 119 minutes: compensation of 25% of the ticket price
  • Delay of 120 minutes or more: compensation of 50% of the ticket price

If OUIGO cancels the train, you can also get a full refund as a voucher or sometimes by bank transfer, depending on the case.

Before buying your tickets, we recommend reading the terms and conditions carefully, available on the OUIGO website. This will let you travel with complete peace of mind, knowing exactly what your options are in case of the unexpected.

🐕 Pet access on Ouigo Train Classique

En savoir plus

Would you like to travel with your pet aboard a OUIGO train? It's entirely possible, provided you follow certain rules set by the company. As with any rail offer, specific conditions apply to ensure the comfort of all passengers — both human and animal.

To start, you must buy a specific ticket for your pet: the OUIGO Pet Ticket. This ticket has a fixed price of €30, regardless of your route. A price that remains competitive compared to other rail companies.

Your pet must travel in a suitable rigid carrier or bag, with maximum dimensions of 45 cm × 30 cm × 25 cm. This container must be placed at your feet for the entire journey. For safety reasons, no animal may move freely in the carriage, even if calm and used to travel.

Animals allowed on board are:

  1. Dogs: all breeds are accepted, provided they're transported in a compliant carrier.
  2. Cats: whether a kitten or an adult cat, carrying in a carrier is mandatory.
  3. Rabbits: welcome on board, always in a suitable container.
  4. Small birds: accepted if in a secure cage.

Note: only the pets mentioned above are allowed. Reptiles, rodents, ferrets, or exotic animals are not permitted aboard OUIGO trains. This rule is designed to guarantee the peace and safety of all travelers.

Finally, it's advisable to prepare your pet well before departure: familiarize them with their carrier, provide water, and avoid feeding them right before the trip. This will help make the experience more pleasant for them… and for you.

In short, traveling with your pet aboard a OUIGO Train Classique is entirely feasible — as long as you follow the transport conditions and remember to book your ticket in advance. Your four-legged companion can also enjoy a comfortable and safe journey!
