🛋️ Ouigo Seat Comfort in 2025
Ouigo trains are designed to offer affordable travel, with simple but adequate comfort for short to medium-length journeys.
- Standard seats: firm padding, limited recline, but decent legroom.
- Solo seats (€7 optional): located on the lower level, offering more peace and quiet, with no direct neighbour.
- Duo, Carré, Triplette: available on the upper level, perfect for travelling as a couple, in a group or as a family.
💡 Tip: For more peace and quiet, the Solo seat remains the most popular.
🔌 Power Sockets on Board: Not for Everyone
On Ouigo Grande Vitesse, not all seats are fitted with power sockets.
If you need to charge your phone or laptop, remember to select the "seat with socket" option when booking (€3 supplement).
Power sockets are mainly located on the upper level, depending on the train. This option is in high demand, so don't wait to book it.
♿ Accessibility: which seat should you choose if you have specific needs?
- Ouigo Grande Vitesse: some seats are adapted for passengers with reduced mobility (PMR): wheelchair access, transfer seats, accessible toilets.
- Ouigo Train Classique: little to no PMR equipment on board. Best avoided if you need accessibility.
👉 Tip: always choose a Ouigo Grande Vitesse journey if you have a disability. And contact customer service beforehand if needed.
