SNCF

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

What types of carriages are available on SNCF night trains?

These night trains typically feature seating carriages and couchette carriages in first and second class.

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?

First class berths are slightly wider than in second class and there are only four berths per compartment. Advantage of first class: In Paris and Toulouse, there are showers at the stations for first class passengers. In second class, six travelers share each compartment. For cyclists, it's possible to bring a bicycle in second class for an additional fee of 10 euros.

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.
