Good to know
For safety reasons, children under 12 years old are not permitted to travel unaccompanied on board TGV Lyria trains. Accompaniment (by a parent, guardian or adult entrusted by the parents to look after the child) is one of the conditions of validity of children’s tickets.
For minors, the following passenger documents are required to enter France :
- If they are travelling unaccompanied: proof of identity and written parental consent.
- If they are travelling with their parents: an identity card or family record book.

Young French people under 15 years old can enter Switzerland without their passport, national identity card or exit certificate upon presentation of a pass which is supplied free of charge by the French prefectorial services upon authorisation from the parent with parental authority and which is valid for one or more trips within a period of three months from date of supply.
