Travel with TGV Lyria

Good news: with the wheels off and stored in a bike bag (maximum size 120cm x 90cm), your two-wheeler can travel with you free of charge and with no booking required, in the TGV Lyria luggage storage areas.

However, it remains your full responsibility on board the train. For info: you must take the bike on and off the train personally. In the interest of everyone, travel outside peak times.

Small pets of less than 6 kg (maximum 2 per person) transported in pet carriers or baskets (with maximum dimensions of 45 x 30 x 25 cm) can travel free of charge on TGV Lyria trains on international journeys. In this case, no ticket is issued.  If a traveller has more than 2 pet carriers, then a TGV Lyria Animal ticket is required for each additional carrier.

If your pet weighs more than 6 kg, TGV Lyria offers a special Pet fare that you can book easily in your usual SNCF points of sale.

Instructions to follow when transporting your pet

Before you settle in, make sure with other passengers that the presence of your pet does not bother them. Also make sure your dog is on a leash and muzzled.

Dogs accompanying a disabled person or a blind, travel free and without ticket on TGV Lyria. Wearing the muzzle is not required in this case.

- Only take with you the luggage that you can easily carry and store in the spaces provided for this purpose (luggage rack above your seat, luggage racks in some TGV Lyria, in the middle of the car, spaces available behind or under your seat)

- Be careful not to disturb the traffic in the corridors with too large or too many luggage.

- Know that you also have storage spaces at the end of the cars: use them for your largest luggage, avoid placing anything of value. 

- The objects, luggage and suitcases carried by you are under your full responsibility. Do not forget to put your surname, first name and address on them.

It depends on the comfort class you are traveling in.
