SNCF

The French national railway SNCF serves several night train routes within France.

What types of carriages are available on SNCF night trains?

In their night trains, they typically offer two types of carriages: seats and couchettes, with the latter available in first and second class.

How are the couchette carriages arranged?

Couchette carriages generally have 4-person compartments in first class and 6-person compartments in second class. The berths are simply designed in both classes and are about 1.9 meters long.

Are there private compartments?

Yes, for more privacy, entire 4-person compartments can be booked exclusively. 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.
