Taking a Dog on Trains in France: Complete SNCF, TGV & Ouigo Guide

France has one of the most pet-friendly rail networks in the world. Whether you are riding high-speed TGVs, scenic regional TER trains, or low-cost Ouigo lines, here is exactly how to travel with your dog legally, safely, and comfortably.

Official SNCF Pricing Standard

Flat €7 Pet Ticket across all SNCF TGV & Intercités

SNCF simplified pet ticketing: whether your dog weighs 2 kg in a tote or 40 kg on a leash, a single €7 ticket per trip applies on TGV InOui and Intercités services (Ouigo charges €10 per pet).

Small Dogs (under 6 kg / 13 lbs)

• Must travel inside a carrier or travel bag (max dimensions: 45 x 30 x 25 cm).
• Placed on your lap or stowed at your feet under the seat in front of you.
• Flat €7 ticket required on TGV InOui, Intercités, and TER lines.
• No muzzle required as long as the dog remains inside the closed carrier.

Medium & Large Dogs (over 6 kg)

• Must be kept on a short leash at all times in stations and on board.
• Muzzle is legally mandatory throughout the journey.
• Must lie on the floor at your feet, never on passenger seats.
• Flat €7 ticket required on TGV InOui (ouigo charges €10).

Rules by Train Type in France

🚄 TGV InOui & Intercités

Dogs allowed. Book your ticket online on SNCF Connect by clicking "Add a pet" before checkout. Ticket is €7. Maximum 2 pets per adult passenger.

🚅 Ouigo (Low-Cost High-Speed)

Dogs allowed. You must add the "Animal option" during booking for €10 per pet per journey. Same carrier/muzzle guidelines apply as TGV.

🚆 TER Regional Trains

Dogs allowed across all French regions (Normandy, Provence, Brittany, Occitanie, etc.). Small pets in bags travel free or for €7 depending on the regional council tariff. Large leashed dogs require a half-fare or €7 ticket.

🚇 Paris Metro, RER & Transilien (RATP / Île-de-France Mobilités)

Small dogs in bags/carriers (under 45 cm) travel for free on all Paris metro lines, buses, and trams. Medium/large dogs on leashes with muzzles are allowed only on RER commuter trains with a reduced-fare ticket, but are prohibited on standard city buses and metro cars.

⚠️ Eurostar (London ⇄ Paris / Brussels)

Crucial exception : Eurostar passenger trains between London St Pancras and Paris Gare du Nord DO NOT allow pets, except certified guide and assistance dogs. If traveling from the UK with a pet dog, you must use LeShuttle (Eurotunnel) by car, or a dog-friendly cross-channel ferry (Calais, Dieppe, Le Havre).

5 Tips for a Stress-Free Train Ride with Your Dog

1. Exercise before boarding : Take a 30-minute brisk walk or visit a nearby dog park before entering the station.

2. Book a window seat : Window seats offer more floor space for your dog to curl up out of the aisle.

3. Bring a travel water bottle : Train carriages can get warm; offer small sips of water regularly.

4. Acclimate to the muzzle : Train your dog to wear a comfortable basket muzzle with treats weeks before your trip.
