    7 questions about train travel with a baby

    Stroller, changing bag, suitcases, baby carrier, cot, comforter, emergency comforter (non-exhaustive list)... Organizing a vacation departure with a baby is no different from an exceptional convoy.

    To make your (and your child's) train journey as easy as possible, here are some answers to your most frequently asked questions.

    Have your child travel with OUIGO for as little as €5

    For OUIGO, for all children under the age of 12, including babies, there are two single fares:

    • 8€ for OUIGO Grande Vitesse
    • 5€ for OUIGO Train Classique

    No, it's not compulsory. With TGV INOUI, TER and INTERCITÉS, your child under the age of 41travels free of charge on your lap or in a baby carrier, without seat reservation.

    However, if you want your baby to have his or her own seat - to fit a carrycot, for example - opt for a Forfait Bambin at €9. This reduced rate is offered to you by default when you make your reservation.

    Access our nursery areas and give your child a clean, dry journey. Easily identifiable on board TGV INOUI, INTERCITÉS and OUIGO trains thanks to their logo, they are equipped with a changing table for your baby's comfort.

    To heat baby bottles on board our trains, you can use the bottle warmer available in the nursery areas on long-distance trains.

    For your convenience, if your train has a TGV INOUI Bistro (car 4 or 14), the baristas can warm up baby bottles and baby food up to 3 years old, in quantities and containers adapted to this age.

    Strollers are carried free of charge (up to a limit of 2 per OUIGO journey). You can store your stroller in the space provided for your luggage.

    In exceptional cases, the stroller can be stored folded between 2 carriages, as long as it does not block access to the train doors and the safe movement of passengers.

    During an INTERCITÉS night journey, your child can travel free of charge in the same couchette as you. If you'd like a berth for your baby, buy a Forfait Bambin Nuit ticket, specifying the berth next to your already reserved seats.

    With TGV INOUI, stress-free travel for all the family in an area reserved primarily for families: the Espace Famille2. It can be booked in 2ndclass on all TGV INOUI trains at weekends, during school vacations and on public holidays.

    Travel in the company of other families to make your journey a moment of pleasure and memories for your children.

    For travel with toddlers, a nursery corner is located close to the space.

    If you're traveling on an INTERCITÉS train on the Paris-Limoges-Toulouse line, you can visit the Espace Kid, located in the Services car (car 3 or 13, depending on the layout of the train).

    A play mat, cushions... everything you need to keep your children entertained during the journey. Our fixed seats, specially adapted for passengers aged 1 to 4, guarantee their safety. Also available in the Espace Kid :

    • changing tables
    • bottle-warmer sockets
    • stroller luggage

    1 To prove your child's age, you must present your family record book and an identity document. For travel within Europe, each child under the age of 4 must have his or her own ID to travel.

    2 The Espace Famille is available at weekends from Friday 2pm to Sunday afternoon, during school vacations and public holidays.
