Useful tips for train travellers

• Onboard Services: Depending on the operator you choose, whether it's SNCF or Intercités, catering services may vary. Onboard, you can find a 'bistro' service offering a selection of snacks, hot and cold drinks, and light meals, though it's always wise to check for the specific train type you'll be on for exact catering options. Bringing your meals is also a good alternative!

You can expect Economy Class (2nd Class) with standard seating arrangements and reduced legroom, as well as First Class (1st Class), which offers more spacious seating and extra comfort. The option for Business Class may not be available on all trains, so confirm your options before booking.

The station also has restrooms, but note that it does not have shower facilities. Familiarize yourself with the station layout through the available maps to easily navigate to exits leading towards local transport options.
