Young travellers

If you are unable to accompany your child and are not able to arrange for another adult to do so, you should consider the Young Passenger Service "JUNIOR & Cie".

Trained and experienced attendants take charge of the children at the departure station and look after them through to the destination station. Each attendant looks after a small group of children (from 4 to 14 years).

This service costs 40 € in addition to the child’s train ticket (2 children 75 €, 3 children 100 €).
The service is available during school holidays on TGV Lyria’s Paris <> Geneva and Paris <> Basel <> Zurich lines:
- TGV Lyria N° 6563 Paris Gare de Lyon (departs 08:09) – Geneva (arrives 11:25)

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.

For further information visit www.ambafrance-ch.org

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.
