Before you land

The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.

  • Easy to get wrong

    This corridor is shared by five different products — Ouigo, Ouigo Train Classique, TGV inOui, Intercités and TER — so not every one of the 29 daily departures is a fast TGV; check the product before assuming a two-hour journey.

  • Hours

    12 daily departures run between 01:40 and 23:15, with a minimum journey time of 5h35 — nearly three times the fastest TGV inOui but typically well under half the price.

  • Where to go

    Trains leave from three different Paris stations depending on the service — Montparnasse Hall 1 & 2, Massy TGV, or Paris Austerlitz — but all arrive at the same Bordeaux Saint-Jean station.

  • Where to go

    The Bordeaux end drops at Saint-Jean (Paludate), not the same forecourt as the TGV's Bordeaux Saint-Jean rail station, plus alternative stops at Floirac Dravemont and Pessac — worth checking which one a specific ticket uses before arranging onward transport.
