SNCF

In France, a few night train lines are operated by the state-owned SNCF.

What types of carriages are available on SNCF night trains?

SNCF night trains are equipped with standard seating carriages and couchette carriages offered in two comfort classes.

How are the couchette carriages arranged?

In the couchette carriages, you travel in 4-person compartments (first class) or 6-person compartments (second class). The berths are simply designed in both classes and are about 1.9 meters long.

Are there private compartments?

Yes, it's possible to reserve an entire couchette compartment as a private compartment. This can also be done for a group.

What's the difference between first and second class in couchette carriages?

The main difference is in occupancy: four people per compartment in first class versus six in second class. Additionally, first class berths are slightly wider. First class passengers have access to showers at stations in Paris and Toulouse. Second class offers bicycle transport for 10 euros, which may interest cycling tourists.

What about food and amenities?

You should bring your own food as there is no restaurant on board. Alternatively, you can pre-order meals and drinks or eat before departure. First class travelers receive a small breakfast. Each passenger receives a night kit with refreshing towelette, dental cleaning tablet, sleep mask, earplugs, and water.
