Overview
Intercités de Nuit services are overnight trains run by SNCF, the French national railway company, across France. These trains allow you to travel while you sleep, combining transport and accommodation in one. Intercités de Nuit trains are comfortable, air-conditioned and provide a practical way to cover long distances overnight.
They are the ideal choice if you want to make the most of your days by arriving refreshed at your destination the following morning.
Intercités de Nuit vs TGV vs Intercités
SNCF operates different types of trains to suit every journey:
- TGV (Trains à Grande Vitesse): high-speed services for fast daytime connections across France and into neighbouring countries.
- Intercités: daytime services on medium and long-distance routes not covered by high-speed lines.
- Intercités de Nuit: overnight services with couchettes and sleeping compartments that save you both time and the cost of a hotel night.
Together, these options give you the flexibility to choose speed, price or convenience depending on your needs.
