French trains - what types are there?

Whether you're an enthusiast or simply want to know what type of rail travel is available in France, here’s what’s on offer:

TGV trains

Travelling at up to 320kph, the TGV trains (Train á Grand Vitesse) whisk you between major French cities and towns. Travel TGV and you'll enjoy reserved seats and all the on-board comforts of these superb, modern trains.


Corail Téoz

Whether you're a family, a business traveller, a regular traveller or a cyclist, Corail Téoz trains are designed with you in mind. With special areas designed for children, bicycle facilities and modern comforts in all classes, travelling on Corail Téoz trains is a pleasure. You can choose your seating option, but you must book all seats in advance.


Corail Intercités

These generally run on the routes not served by Corail Téoz or TGV, and usually don't require reservations. Corail Intercités trains don't offer facilities specifically for families or bicycles.


TER

Take TER trains to travel short distances between major cities and towns and smaller destinations. Most trains offer standard and first-class and there's no need to book a seat in advance.


 Corail Lunéa

Sleep in comfort while the train carries you to your destination with Corail Lunéa. These trains travel overnight, so you can save on hotel bills and arrive fresh and ready to enjoy yourself.

There's a range of on-board accommodation to choose from:

    1. reclining seats - these are the cheapest way to travel on Corail Lunéa
    2. standard class couchettes (6-berth compartments)
    3. first-class couchettes (4-berth compartments)

You'll need to book in advance. You can also reserve women-only and family couchettes.
