Buying your tickets
With Intercités, it’s just as easy to buy tickets for an overnight journey as for daytime travel. Choose from the same booking options—buy on line, at a self-service machine, in a station or at an SNCF sales office.

Our Solo Lady2 compartment is for you. You’ll have peace of mind when you choose this ladies-only compartment, and it’s available at no extra charge.
To use this service, simply tick the Solo Lady box when you book on line or request it when you buy tickets in a station or SNCF sales office.
Travel light
With our door-to-door luggage delivery service, you can travel light on your Intercités overnight journey. We’ll pick up your bags from your departure location and take them to the address of your choice3.
Travel with others
Travelling with family or friends? Take an Intercités overnight train, and your compartment in 1st class (4 couchettes) or 2nd class (6 couchettes) can become your own private suite. Simply mention or tick the option Private Space* when you book.
* Service available from €40. Not offered during peak travel periods.
On-board amenities
We’ve designed the overnight Intercités experience for maximum comfort:
- if you booked a couchette, you’ll find a bottle of water next to your bed, along with a travel kit containing moist towelettes, earplugs and tissues.
- if you booked a reclining seat, you’ll have a footrest and an adjustable headrest, and your seatback will recline to a 45° angle. Individual reading lights make it easy for you to read or work without disturbing other passengers.
For your safety and peace of mind, all compartments can be locked, and your train will make few if any stops between midnight and 05.30.
Crew members are on hand to meet your expectations throughout your overnight journey. At your request, the conductor will personally wake you at the time of your choice.
