Travel in France from 10/12/2023: booking possible as from 4 October.

Every year in mid-December, different European rail companies simultaneously amend their train services, with new timetables taking effect more or less throughout Europe.

Reservations on TGV INOUI trains for journeys to, from and within France from 10 December 2023 to 9 January 2024 will be possible from Wednesday 4 October.


Possible security checks at Brussels-Midi, Antwerp-Central and Liège-Guillemins.

Since July 2017, security checks for passengers travelling on high-speed trains (Thalys, TGV or ICE) have been introduced in the train stations of Brussels-Midi, Antwerp-Central and Liège-Guillemins. Part of a series of measures implemented by the government, these checks are non-systematic and non-permanent and are carried out by authorised security personnel.

Taking into account that you may be subject to the above mentioned security checks, we ask that Thalys, TGV and ICE travellers anticipate a safe time margin and make their way to the platform sufficiently on time.

Travellers are also reminded that they must not be in possession of items that could endanger their fellow passengers.
