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?
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?
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?
The night trains don't have a dining car, so it's advisable to bring your own food or eat before departure. You can also pre-order salads, sandwiches, and drinks. First class passengers receive a small breakfast. All travelers get a night kit with refreshing towelette, dental hygiene product, sleep mask, earplugs, and a bottle of mineral water.
