Book a OUIGO train

Worth knowing

OUIGO is the low-cost offer established in 2013 as part of the SNCF group. Unlike the TGV INOUI service, OUIGO trains only have one class, which is equivalent to second-class travel. This is why OUIGO tickets are so cheap - from €10 for adults (depending on the destination) and €5 for children.

OUIGO's different train ticket offers (all at a great price!)

OUIGO's low-cost offers apply to two types of train services, the OUIGO "Grande Vitesse" and the OUIGO "Classique Train".

OUIGO Grande Vitesse

OUIGO Grande Vitesse: cheap TGV travel with all you need

Want to travel at 300 km/h without breaking the bank? Then the OUIGO Grande Vitesse TGV trains are the ones to catch. Head to Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, Rennes, Montpellier... From €10 for adults and €5 for children under 11. A fantastic deal! All you need to do is book your ticket and print it off before you leave.

To get the best OUIGO prices, we recommend you book several months in advance. What's more, if you want to get even lower prices, just keep an eye on OUIGO's cheap deals.

OUIGO Train Classique

OUIGO Train Classique: cheap train tickets, slightly longer journeys

Launched on 11th April 2022, the OUIGO Classique train service has all you'll need. This new family-focused low-cost service already serves 14 destinations, including Paris, Nantes and Lyon. Comfort-wise you'll be able to travel on the famous Corail and TER trains for a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

The other difference (apart from being a different colour from and a bit slower than the TGV OUIGOs) is the prices stay the same right up until the train leaves. Tickets range from €10 to €49, and their price won't go up at the last minute. Perfect if you decide to travel on a last-minute whim.

On-demand or all-inclusive, you decide!

If you travel on an OUIGO High Speed train, you can get additional services on-demand (such as seat selection or an extra piece of luggage) or with an all-inclusive option for €9 more (OUIGO PLUS).

The OUIGO PLUS service is only available on OUIGO High Speed trains and allows you to take an extra piece of luggage, choose your seat and get access to wifi on board the train.

Answers to your questions about OUIGO

In addition to the absence of 1st class carriages and bright colours, there are some other differences between OUIGO and TGV INOUI trains. The cheaper tickets mean only essential services are included, and you'd need to pay for any additional options. Plus OUIGO trains carry more passengers per journey - up to 1,260 vs 1,000 on TGV INOUI trains. To cater for more passengers, OUIGO trains don't have a buffet bar, so we recommend you buy drinks and snacks before boarding.

In brief, TGV INOUI trains are premium service, while OUIGO trains are low-cost TGVs.

What is an OUIGO train?

OUIGO was created by the SNCF group in 2013. This is a 100% digital offer for travel on the blue and pink TGV to over 50 destinations in France. Why are tickets with OUIGO cheaper?
